The death of Denis Law has led to a flood of tributes to the Manchester United and Scotland legend, who passed away at the age of 84

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.

At Manchester United Law scored 236 goals in 393 games; third behind his team-mate Sir Bobby Charlton and Wayne Rooney on the all-time scoring list, and set club records for the most goals in the FA Cup (34 goals), which still stands, and in Europe with 28 goals in 33 games.

Manchester United are set to decide between redeveloping Old Trafford or building a new stadium by the end of the season. The Old Trafford regeneration task force has published its options report into the future of United’s stadium and the proposed regeneration of the surrounding area.

Manchester United’s plans to rebuild or redevelop Old Trafford are set to drive one of the UK’s “biggest ever urban regeneration projects”, according to new proposals.

Manchester United will deliver a decision on whether it intends to redevelop Old Trafford or build a new 100,000-seater stadium by the summer, the club said on Friday.
