No facts yet but plenty of rumours (which I believe are true) about Miller moving to Man U in the Summer!
NEWS TAKEN OF EIRCOM.NET
MANCHESTER (Reuters) - Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Celtic midfielder Liam Miller, the English champions say.
The 22-year-old will move to Old Trafford on a long-term contract on July 1 after finalising a pre-contract agreement.
"We recognised the potential of Liam. He has had a great season at Celtic. He is very much part of our progressive thinking of developing a young team over the next few years," said United manager Alex Ferguson.
Cork-born Miller has spent all his career to date at Celtic Park and although he has been a central figure in Martin O'Neill's plans this season he had not agreed an extension to his existing contract, which was due to expire at the end of the season.
Miller said: "As a young boy I only ever supported two clubs, Glasgow Celtic and Manchester United. I am honoured to have played for Celtic for six years and now I look forward to joining Manchester United.
"It's very exciting and it is going to be a challenge to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world."

I think its a good move. Too many good players are wasting away in the Scottish Premier League which is arguably not much of a League......there being only 2 real times that challenge for the honours. The other teams aren't a Patch on Celtic or Rangers.
