England midfielder David Beckham has criticised the "unprofessional" conduct of Los Angeles Galaxy team-mate Landon Donovan.

The American international had questioned Beckham's commitment to the club and also to Major League Soccer [MLS].

Beckham, who has been on loan to Italian giants AC Milan, revealed he would be seeking to talk to Donovan.

It's important to get this cleared up, and I will be speaking to Landon.

Beckham said: "It's unprofessional. In every football player's eyes throughout the world, it would be unprofessional to speak out about a team-mate, especially in the press and not to your face.

"In 17 years, I have played with the biggest teams in the world and the biggest players and not once have I been criticised for my professionalism.

"It's important to get this cleared up, and I will be speaking to Landon either this evening or over the next couple of days."

Beckham, recently recalled to the England set-up by manager Fabio Capello, added: "Me and Landon will talk, but that will be a private conversation."
