This proved to be a tricky fixture, with Crewe coming close to causing an upset. United fielded a team of youngsters and senior players and suffered from a combination of inexperience and lack of match fitness. United did take the lead in the first half thanks yet again to Solskjaer, equalling Saha as United's top scorer this season. Crewe came back stronger in the second half and equalising midway through and unlucky not to get a winner. The fixture went to extra time and was minutes away from penalties when substitute Kieran Lee latched onto Smith's through ball to score.
So another 2 goals to add to the 'missing Ruud' column and Southend in the next round.
