Man United were hoping to mark Law's death aged 84 by producing the kind of entertaining display that was the hallmark of the United star's teams.
United crumbled to a sixth defeat in 11 league games since Amorim arrived from Sporting Lisbon to replace the sacked Erik ten Hag.
Amorim’s side were hoping to mark Law’s death aged 84 by producing the kind of entertaining display that was the hallmark of the United star’s teams. But, in truth, they were luck to beat Southampton and all their flaws were laid bare against a dynamic Brighton team who have won six of their last seven league meetings with United.
Dubbed Scotland’s greatest ever player by Ferguson, Law is the only player from his country to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or.United fans left red scarves and flowers at the base of the ‘Holy Trinity’ statue outside Old Trafford that depicts Law alongside team-mates Bobby Charlton and George Best. United drew level in the 23rd minute when Baleba’s tug on Joshua Zirkzee conceded a penalty that Fernandes converted for his eighth goal this season.
