Manchester United made the announcement on behalf of Law's family with "great sadness". In 2021, Law announced that he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
The Aberdeen-born Scot once formed an outstanding trio, also known as the "Holy Trinity", with stars Bobby Charlton and George Best, who have also already died. Law scored 236 goals in more than 400 games for United. The diminutive striker won the league and cup with the Red Devils, as well as the European Cup in 1968. He also won the Ballon d'Or in 1964.
Law was also one of the top performers in the Scottish team, scoring 30 times in 55 international matches. He played his last game for Scotland at the 1974 World Cup in Germany.
