Hull City boss Steve Bruce has denied falling out with Hatem Ben Arfa, who was left out of their stalemate with West Bromwich Albion.
Despite accusing Ben Arfa of "not hurting enough" during the Old Trafford defeat, Bruce insisted he is yet to make a decision on whether to extend Ben Arfa's loan spell which is due to run out in January.
Bruce said: "There's no bust-up - of course he's not happy about being taken off but he's got to be treated like everyone else and win his spurs back by trying hard and getting back in the team.
"He didn't hurt enough at Old Trafford to be among the substitutes at Goodison Park or today. His attitude is okay and I haven't got any problems with his personality is but he simply has to roll his sleeves up and work for the cause.
"There is no disputing he has got ability but ability is not enough at this level so he will be treated like everyone else. We will see what December and January brings and I will sit down with him and see where we are."
