Leeds United defender Kyle Bartley has come under criticism from his own Mum, in a recent question and answer feature on the club’s official Twitter account.

Bartley’s Mum, Maria, joined in the questions, asking her son: “Why does your phone line always break up after we've been chatting for 10 mins?”

Leeds’ official Twitter account wanted fans to send in questions to ask Bartley, but it appears his own Mum has stolen the show with her tweet.

The defender has impressed at Elland Road since his arrival from Swansea City during the summer transfer window, helping Garry Monk’s side to fourth in the Sky Bet Championship.

Bartley has been a rock for Leeds at the heart of defence, making 40 appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals.

It is yet to be seen if Bartley will still be with Leeds next season, which was a topic many fans wanted to ask the 25-year old about.

Leeds fans… What do you make of Bartley’s Mum tweeting him? Let us know in the comments below!
