"Doctored" Paddy's still no.1 says agent
Paddy Kenny's agent believes his client is a victim of a viral photoshop scam.
Paul Masterton who represents the 36-year-old, who has been left out of United's training camp in Italy has laughed off suggestions that Kenny has been sacked due to putting on weight and the fact he was born on May 17th - the number 17 is an unlucky omen for club President Massimo Cellino.
"I’ve no idea where this number 17 stuff came from, but it’s complete nonsense as far as we’re concerned,” Mr Masterton told Press Association Sport.
"We’re more bothered about the picture to be honest. It’s been massively doctored. Paddy is the same weight now as he was five years ago.
"I was playing golf with him last week and unless he’s put four stones on since then somebody somewhere is being mischievous to say the least.”
Masterton admitted his client could be "surplus to requirements" at Elland Road but rated him, when fully fit as one of the best keepers in the Championship.
However given that Leeds have today signed veteran keeper Stuart Taylor on a one-year deal surely implies that Paddy's "Mr Fixit" will be hunting for a new club for him sooner rather than later.

Leeds crush Norwich to cruise through to play-off finalWith our recent form being what it was, I was expecting a nervy encounter, with Leeds struggling to get through the Norwich City defence, but how wrong I was! Suddenly we recovered the swagger we have shown for much of the season, and not a moment too soon.
Farke happy with the result after bore draw at NorwichMany neutrals have complained on social media that yesterday’s game at Norwich City was a bit on the dull side, but the Leeds team wasn't set up to please them. For us it was the result that mattered, and it should leave us in a better position to get through to the final.
Norwich AwaydazeFor the second time this season we are visiting Norwich City, this time for the play-off game at high noon on Sunday, and the kick-off time is of course thanks to our good friends at Sky Sports. You’ll find Carrow Road is about a mile to the south-east of the city centre.
QPR AwaydazeOur trip to Queens Park Rangers is at 8pm on Friday, thanks once again to our very good friends at Sky Sports. We’re not famous any more!
Crisis, what Crisis?As Mark Twain might have said, rumours of the death of our promotion hopes have been greatly exaggerated. Last night’s win at Middlesbrough was a hard watch towards the end, but the vital three points has got our campaign back on track.
