Denis Law died at the age of 84 and legendary Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson has paid tribute to the all-time Man United great

Manchester United host Brighton at Old Trafford in the Premier League today, with Ruben Amorim’s side looking to build on the midweek win over Southampton, having shown a “different” side to them against Liverpool and Arsenal.

Law won two league titles with United and was a member of their European Cup-winning team under Sir Matt Busby in 1968

Denis Law, the iconic former Manchester United striker and the only Scottish player to win the Ballon d’Or, has died at the age of 84, the club confirmed on Friday.

Denis Law, the Manchester United great and Scotland international, has died. He was 84. The death of Law, who also played for Manchester City, was announced in a statement from his family that was released by United.

Bruno Fernandes's 23rd-minute penalty cancelled out an early opener from Yankuba Minteh but Ruben Amorim 's inconsistent United side remain without back-to-back Premier League wins all season, and Brighton are becoming a bogey team, having now won six of their last seven league matches against United.

Manchester United are languishing in 13th place and although they are 10 points above the relegation zone, they are far from certain to avoid being dragged into the survival fight.

Tottenham’s woeful campaign also sunk to new depths with a 3-2 loss at relegation-fighting Everton, but Nottingham Forest’s unlikely title challenge goes from strength to strength after a 3-2 win against last-placed Southampton.

United crumbled to a sixth defeat in 11 league games since Amorim arrived from Sporting Lisbon to replace the sacked Erik ten Hag.
