United's new midfield signing Liam Miller wants everyone to know that he isn't
the new Roy Keane.
"The comparisons are coming about because we are both from Cork and we are
now both at Manchester United, but I don't think the comparisons would be there if it wasn't for that," said the new boy.
"The fans will see straight away that we are different types of player. Once they
do then I think that will help me settle without having that added pressure.
"I hope the United fans will just make their own minds up when they see me play, and accept me for the type of player I am.
"It would be nice to get to his standard. But we both have different aspects to our game. I am a different type of player to Roy. He is the finished article for a start. I have many years to catch up.
"But it can only be good for me to learn off someone of his calibre. I had a brief
chance of working alongside him in my one and only Republic of Ireland match
with him at the end of last season.
"It was a great experience and I am sure that, with his help, I can only get better.
His reading of the game and awareness is terrific. He has got everything.
"I have the confidence to play in the Premiership. I wouldn't have moved if I
hadn't felt ready for it. It is a challenge that I am looking forward to.
"By the time the squad returns from America I should be there or thereabouts,
and I will be looking forward to getting my match fitness up to scratch."
