OLD TRAFFORD paid tribute to Manchester United legend Denis Law who passed away aged 84 on Friday.
Former manager Sir Alex Ferguson joined Law’s former team-mates Paddy Crerand and Alex Stepney on the pitch as a touching poem was read before kick-off against Brighton.
Scottish bagpipes played out “The Flower of Scotland” as the United’s starting line ups walked slowly next to Brighton’s XI on Sunday.
Club captain Bruno Fernandes held a wreath as a sell crowd crowd chanted ‘Denis Law.”
It is a very sombre Old Trafford ahead of kick-off.
Ferguson, who was singing ‘Take Me Home, United Road’ emerged onto the pitch with a host of United legends.
Ferguson laid the wreath on the pitch.
All the flags at Old Trafford are at half mast, including the Scotland flag above the Sir Alex Ferguson stand.
