Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has rejected complaints from striker Alvaro Negredo.
Pellegrini refused to accept Negredo's claims this week he left City because the management team had lost faith in him.
The Chilean stated: "He knows why he didn't continue here. That was his decision - my decision was to keep him here but he didn't want to stay.
"It was a personal problem."
Negredo is this season on-loan with Valencia.
