Dennis Law is United third highest scorer in history — but he was so much more than that.

A complete footballer, Law’s legend extends beyond the pitch at Old Trafford.

He’s also made a name for himself as an Ambassador for United.

Law netted 237 time in just 404 matches and was the driving force behind United first ever European Title in 1968.

The Scott handed Rooney the No. 10 himself — it’s his shirt, and no one will ever doubt that.

"“When I was offered the chance to wear the number ten shirt I jumped at it. Some of the game’s greatest players have become legends wearing number ten – none more so than Denis Law.” — Wayne Rooney"

Law is immortalized as the greatest No. 10 in club history and rightfully so.

He helped United get on the track to being one of the greatest clubs in the history of football; and his place in the United Trinity statue outside Old Trafford will serve so none may forget his stature at the club.
