A special memorial event for Manchester United and Scotland legend, Denis Law, took place on Thursday, following his passing in January.
Several Manchester United icons were joined by Sir Alex Ferguson in Aberdeen to remember Denis Law, who will forever be remembered as the original king of the Stretford End.
Former United players Bryan Robson, Gary Neville, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Jonny Evans were in attendance at the special event organised by the University of Aberdeen at St Machar Cathedral.
