Denis Law, a revered figure in Manchester United’s history, has sadly passed away at the age of 84, according to a family statement shared on the club’s official website.
The announcement has left everyone at Manchester United mourning the loss of “the King of the Stretford End.”
Law, who scored an impressive 237 goals in 404 appearances, will always be remembered as one of the club’s most beloved players and an ultimate goal-scorer.
His flair, spirit, and passion for the game endeared him to a generation of fans.
Manchester United extended their deepest condolences to Law’s family and friends, affirming that his memory will endure forever.
As the last surviving member of the iconic “Trinity” trio, which included Sir Bobby Charlton and George Best, Law played a pivotal role in elevating the club to new heights during the 1960s, including winning their first-ever European Cup in 1968.

Law began his football journey at Huddersfield before joining Manchester City in 1960, where he spent just one season before moving to Torino for a brief stint.
In 1962, he signed with Manchester United, marking the beginning of a remarkable career that lasted 11 years.
He eventually returned to City in 1973 for his final season, though he would later express regret over scoring the goal that contributed to United’s relegation.
In recent years, Law had been living with Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia, leading to his absence from public life.
To honor his legacy, a minute’s silence will be observed ahead of the upcoming Premier League clash between Manchester United and Brighton.
