Thousands of Manchester United fans have gathered at Old Trafford to pay tribute to Denis Law ahead of the funeral of the club great.

Manchester United players and managers past and present turned out to pay their respects to club legend Denis Law, who was laid to rest on Tuesday.

Law supported Aberdeen and watched them when he had enough money to do so, watching local non-league teams when he did not. His obsession with football led to him turning down a place at A berdeen Grammar School, because he would have had to play r ugby there; instead, he attended Powis Acadamy in Aberdeen.
