Denis Law, the Manchester United and Scotland legend, has died at the age of 84, his family announced on Friday.

Law scored 237 goals in 404 appearances for United and was the last surviving member of Old Trafford’s “Holy Trinity”, following the passing of George Best in 2005 and Sir Bobby Charlton in 2023. As such, his death represents a hugely significant moment in the club’s history.
