Denis Law Remembered as Manchester United’s Greatest Striker

The legendary footballer, who passed away at 84, left an indelible mark on Manchester United and the sport with his prolific scoring and enduring connection to fans.

Denis Law, who scored 236 goals in 393 games for Manchester United, is widely regarded as the club’s greatest-ever striker.
Law was known for his fearless approach, quick reflexes, and ability to score from the six-yard box, making him a fan favorite among working-class supporters.
He was a key figure in United’s resurgence under Sir Matt Busby, helping the team win the FA Cup in 1963 and league titles in 1965 and 1967.
Although injuries curtailed his career, Law’s legacy was immortalized with two statues at Old Trafford, including one as part of the iconic Holy Trinity with George Best and Bobby Charlton.
Law’s backheeled goal for Manchester City against United in 1974, often mischaracterized as relegating his former club, remains a poignant moment in his storied career.
