Sunderland midfielder Liam Miller has been told he can still have a future at the club.
Manager Roy Keane has dismissed offers from Burnley and Leeds to take his former Manchester United team-mate on loan until the end of the season.
Miller turned up late for a number of training sessions, team meetings and appointments for treatment, but the Sunderland boss said his time-keeping has improved.
"He's been on time," said Keane.
