In 1997--98, Easton was more of a first team regular, featuring in thirty-five matches, with notable firsts including playing in a UEFA Cup match and scoring his first goal in the League Cup semi-final win over Aberdeen. The following season, Easton continued to play in the majority of matches and repeated this trend over the next few seasons. In 2003--04, Easton played fewer games, with manager Ian McCall -- in his first full season as United manager -- demoting his squad number from 7 to 18.
