The Wanted have admitted that they want to put to bed their apparent feud with One Direction.

The two pop groups have had something of a frosty relationship this year, and the two camps have recently traded more comments about each other in the press.

One Direction's Louis Tomlinson stoked the rivalry even further by saying that his band wouldn't shy away from any friction.

Speaking to the Metro, however, The Wanted's Jay McGuiness said that the two groups will see each other soon in the US, where they hope to iron out any issues. He said:

"We're going to see them in New York. We're doing a gig with them and I know they've had a bit of a field day recently talking a little bit of tongue-in-cheek smack talk so when we see each other in New York we'll see if there's actually any issues or not.

The singer continued: "We don't see them enough for there to actually be a personal vendetta or anything but I think in the chart you're always going to go up against people that are similar to you."
