Miller opens account as United see off Crewe

Crewe Alexandra 0 Manchester United 3

And Ireland midfielder Liam Miller will relish the win as the Corkman scored his first senior goal for the Red Devils since his summer move from Celtic.

Alan Smith’s clinical 10th-minute opener ensured the visitors always had some degree of comfort against a spirited Crewe side, who forced returning ’keeper Tim Howard into a series of decent stops, before they were undone by two goals in as many minutes just before the hour mark.
