Sheffield United have played down rumours suggesting Paddy Kenny is unhappy at Bramall Lane and wants to quit the club.

The Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper has been linked with a move to Bolton Wanderers and Sunderland following the Blades' relegation to the Championship.

Kenny's agent also suggested his client could leave, should the club fail to open negotiations on a new contract.

But United chairman Terry Robinson has poured cold water on the claims by revealing he has already held discussions on a new deal with the former Bury keeper.

"Two or three weeks ago both parties met up for discussions," he told the club's official website.

"They took place and at this moment we have no further comment to make."

Kenny, 28, has made more than 200 appearances in five seasons with the Blades.
