Lennon Miller is "loving watching" Motherwell this season and would have thrived playing under Jens Berthel Askou, says the midfielder's father Lee.
The 19-year-old earned Motherwell a club record fee when he moved to Udinese last summer and has scored one goal in 14 appearances for the Serie A club.
"He's loving watching [Motherwell]," Lee Miller told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.
"I spoke to him last night. He would have done so well in that team but it was time for him to go and do his thing over in Italy and he's loving life just now.
"He's loving it watching it from afar."
Motherwell found themselves 1-0 down after just six minutes at home to Rangers on Wednesday night but deservedly rescued a draw despite Lukas Fadinger's red card.
"What a great performance again from Motherwell," Miller added.
"We've seen it so many times this season, they get the draw and nobody could have said they didn't deserve it. I thought they were excellent, they created loads of chances.
"You go down to 10 men, you think they're out of it and they get the point."
