**Denis Law, Manchester United and Scotland Legend, Passes Away at 84**

In a poignant moment for football fans across the globe, Manchester United and Scotland icon Denis Law has sadly passed away at the age of 84, as confirmed by his family on Friday.

Law’s illustrious career saw him don the jerseys of some of the most storied clubs in football, including Manchester United, Huddersfield Town, Manchester City, and Torino. His legacy is particularly intertwined with The Red Devils, where he became a household name and a symbol of attacking prowess.

Remarkably, Law remains the only Scottish footballer to have ever won the prestigious Ballon d’Or, clinching the award in 1964. His exceptional talent was further highlighted during his time at Manchester United, where he formed part of the legendary ‘Holy Trinity’ alongside George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton. This formidable trio played a pivotal role in helping United become the first English club to lift the European Cup in 1968.

In a heartfelt statement, Law’s family expressed their sorrow: “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.”

Since 2021, Law had been grappling with Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, a battle that he faced with remarkable courage.

On the pitch, Law’s record speaks volumes. He ranks third in Manchester United’s all-time leading goalscorer list, netting an impressive 237 goals in 404 appearances, trailing only Wayne Rooney and Sir Bobby Charlton. Additionally, he shares the title of Scotland’s joint all-time top goalscorer with Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish, having scored 30 goals in 55 international caps.

Law’s international career also included a memorable appearance at the 1974 FIFA World Cup in West Germany, and he made headlines by breaking the British transfer record on three separate occasions.

In response to the news of his passing, Manchester United released a statement that celebrated Law’s enduring legacy: “He will always be celebrated as one of the club’s greatest and most beloved players. The ultimate goalscorer, his flair, spirit, and love for the game made him the hero of a generation.”

As tributes pour in from fans and fellow players alike, Denis Law’s impact on the game will undoubtedly be remembered for generations to come.
