Man United stars attend funeral of club legend Denis Law
Past and present Manchester United greats gathered at Manchester Cathedral to pay their respects to club icon Denis Law, Daily Mail reports.
Among those in attendance were Sir Alex Ferguson, Rúben Amorim, Wayne Rooney, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Peter Schmeichel, Ruud van Nistelrooy, as well as current United players Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes. Former Scotland international Kenny Dalglish was also present to honor the legendary forward.
Speaking at the service, Sir Alex Ferguson paid a heartfelt tribute to Law, recalling a story that placed him among football’s greatest:
"Trying to place Denis in the pantheon of all time greats is a challenge. But it is made easier by Pele. He was asked if there was a British player who could get in the [great] Brazil team. He said Denis Law - which is a fantastic tribute."
Law was a key part of Manchester United’s historic European Cup-winning team in 1968 and remains the only Scottish player to have won the Ballon d’Or (1964).
Denis Law passed away on January 17, 2025, at the age of 84, after a long battle with dementia.
