Denis Law said playing alongside Bobby Charlton was a striker’s dream as he paid tribute to his former Manchester United teammate. Law and Charlton are immortalised together at Old Trafford in a statue alongside George Best with the trio christened the club’s “Holy Trinity.”

Together the trio helped rebuild United as a force in England and Europe in the aftermath of the Munich air disaster. Charlton died on Saturday at the age of 86 and Law eulogised his ball striking and eye for a pass.
