In a League Cup second round tie, the Red Devils locked horns against Brighton & Hove Albion FC. The match ended in a 1-1 draw at the Falmer Stadium in Brighton.

The English forward joined Manchester United from Southampton in 1989 and stayed at the club for four seasons. In the final year of his contract with the Red Devils, he was sent on loan to Millwall.
Danny Wallace's next destination was Birmingham City where he spent only two seasons. Both the seasons were injury-laden as he hardly could play for the club. In 1995, he joined Wycombe Wanderers where he played just one match and soon retired from professional football.
In 1996, Wallace was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This was the reason the striker could hardly play at Birmingham City.
