Manchester United paid an emotional tribute to former striker Denis Law – who died on Friday at the age of 84 – before their match against Brighton on Sunday afternoon.

Law scored 237 goals in 404 appearances for United in a trophy-laden spell between 1962 and 1973.

All flags at Old Trafford are at half mast, with players wearing black armbands, and a piper played Flower of Scotland as the teams emerged.

A poem was read as the stadium fell silent, with United legends Sir Alex Ferguson, Pat Crerand, Alex Stepney and Brian Kidd all present.

Stadium announcer Alan Keegan, speaking to the fans, said: “Beyond the goals the man stood tall, a heart of gold who inspired all.

“He’s still the King of the Stretford End.”

Ferguson laid a wreath on the centre circle as the supporters applauded.
