The 1999 season marked the arrival of Juvenal Olmos as coach. He sent Miranda on loan to Ñublense, then of the Chilean Third Division, in order for him to gain first team experience. He remained there for two years until being recalled by Unión Española in preparation for their 2001 season in Primera Division. He made his first team debut for Unión Española in the 2001 season against Colo-Colo, and became a regular starter for Union for the next years. In 2004, he was named co-captain prior to the team's Apertura campaign. During the 2005 Apertura, Miranda played a key role in guiding Unión Española to the 2005 Torneo Apertura.

Miranda made only 4 appearances for Salzburg before returning to Unión Española after the season's end. In 2006, he stayed with Unión Española throughout the 2006 Apertura before being sold to rivals Universidad Católica at the start of the 2006 Clausura.
