Sir Alex Ferguson joins legends on Old Trafford pitch before Brighton game

OLD TRAFFORD paid tribute to Manchester United legend Denis Law, who died on Friday aged 84.

Former manager Sir Alex Ferguson joined Law's former teammates Paddy Crerand and Alex Stepney on the pitch as a moving poem was read before kick-off against Brighton.

Scottish bagpipes played 'The Flower of Scotland' as United's starting line-ups walked slowly alongside Brighton's XI on Sunday.

Club captain Bruno Fernandes held up a wreath as the teams were led out, as the sell-out crowd applauded.

Ferguson, who sang 'Take Me Home, United Road', appeared on the pitch with a host of United legends.

Ferguson laid the wreath on the field.

All flags at Old Trafford are at half-mast, including the Scottish flag above the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand.
