Burnley goalkeeper Joe Hart has dismissed criticism of his work with the ball at his feet.

It's been suggested he was forced out of Manchester City because of his poor passing.

But Hart told Sky Sports: "I do what the manager asks of me, to the best of my ability. I'm not saying I'm brilliant or saying I'm perfect.

"That's probably the most high-profile thing to happen to me over the last couple of years, comments like that, rather than what actually counts."

He also admitted: "I made it clear to City that I didn't want to go on loan again, I had one year left on my contract.

"Like I've said before it was a kind of strange situation for me. I know what qualities I bring, I know what I've done, and what I can still do, but people weren't banging the door down for me. That's the truth."
