Leeds United goalkeeper Marco Silvestri has indicated he is set to delete his Twitter account following a bust-up with fans after he appeared to 'like' a story suggesting head coach Garry Monk could be sacked.

Monk froze Silvestri out of the first team picture soon after taking over at Elland Road, despite the highly-rated Italian having been the club's number 1 choice goalkeeper over the last two seasons.











Silvestri has worked his way back into the first team picture, but is second fiddle to Rob Green, brought in by Monk following his release from fellow Championship outfit QPR.

The Italian goalkeeper appeared to 'like' a post on Twitter which suggested Monk could be sacked soon, but then insisted he had never 'liked' the post and accused photos circulating showing he had of being fake.





Now Silvestri has issued a statement, which suggests he is set to delete his Twitter account.

He wrote: "I always used Twitter for be next to the fans, for help some charities and for makes some kids happy in their birthday day.

"But these episodes make me sad and I don't want to have this kind of problems, especially because when this problem happened today I was in the nursery with my daughter.

"Thanks to all my followers, thanks to all the fans who in recent years have been close to me and they have always supported me even in the hard time.

"Then I decided to delete myself from there. Because I don't want any problem in future", Silvestri added.

The goalkeeper joined Leeds in the summer of 2014 and quickly established himself between the sticks at Elland Road, though he did attract criticism for a number of errors.
