Manchester United legend, Denis Law dies at 84

Manchester United legend, Denis Law, has died at 84.

During his 11 years with the Red Devils, Law scored 237 goals in 404 appearances.

The tally puts him third in United’s all-time goalscorers list, behind Wayne Rooney and Sir Bobby Charlton.

A statement from Law’s family read: “It is with a heavy heart that we tell you our father Denis Law has sadly passed away. He fought a tough battle but finally he is now at peace.

“We would like to thank everyone who contributed to his wellbeing and care, past and much more recently. We know how much people supported and loved him and that love was always appreciated and made the difference. Thank you.”

Law made up one-third of the attacking trident known as ‘The Holy Trinity’, alongside Charlton and George Best.

They helped the club win the European Cup, two English titles and the FA Cup.

In August 2021, Law revealed that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia.

United added that they were “deeply saddened” to share the news of Law’s passing.
