Manchester United and Celtic on Saturday offered condolences after their former midfielder Liam Miller passed away at age 36, following a battle with cancer.
The Irishman, who died Friday night, began his football career at Celtic before joining Manchester United, where he stayed between 2004 and 2006, reported Efe.
"Celtic football club was deeply saddened to hear tonight's tragic news that former player Liam Miller had passed away at the age of 36," the Scottish football club said on its official website.
