Manchester United mourn as club legend passes away

Football is mourning the loss of Manchester United and Scotland legend Denis Law, who passed away at 84.
A prolific forward and one of the sport’s most iconic figures, Law’s extraordinary career left an indelible mark on both club and international football.
Law’s journey with Manchester United saw him net 237 goals, earning him a place among the club’s greatest players. His remarkable talent was recognized with the prestigious Ballon d’Or award in 1964. Four years later, he played a key role in United’s historic European Cup triumph in 1968, solidifying his status as a footballing great.
On the international stage, Law’s impact was equally profound. Representing Scotland, he scored 30 goals in 55 appearances, a record he shares with Kenny Dalglish. Known for his flair, skill, and commanding presence on the field, he earned the moniker “The King of the Stretford End” from adoring United fans.
In a heartfelt statement, Manchester United described Law as a cherished figure and one of their finest ambassadors.

Denis Law’s passing marks the end of an era, but his legacy will continue to inspire generations. He will be remembered not just as a footballer, but as a symbol of excellence and dedication that transcended the game.
