Supporters took to social media to voice their anger at the club's ownership for missing the farewell to one of United's greatest players.
"I'm disgusted by the Glazers and Jim Ratcliffe snubbing Denis Law's funeral. How can they claim to support Manchester United when they fail to honour one of its greatest players?" one fan wrote.
Another supporter stated: "Glazers and Jim Ratcliffe snubbing Denis Law's funeral basically just describes in a nutshell what they actually think of united and their relationship with the club."

The funeral service at Manchester Cathedral drew around 750 mourners, including football legends from across generations.
Sir Alex Ferguson and current Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim were among the notable attendees paying their respects to the Scottish icon.
Former Manchester City teammates Joe Corrigan and Mike Summerbee joined the gathering, reflecting Law's impact across both Manchester clubs.
The service began with the sound of bagpipes playing Flower of Scotland, honouring Law's Scottish heritage.
The ceremony marked the passing of Law, who died last month aged 84, the only Scotsman ever to be named the world's best player.
Over 1,000 fans gathered at Old Trafford to bid farewell to the Manchester United legend as the funeral cortege passed the stadium.

The procession paused at the Trinity statue, which depicts Law alongside Sir Bobby Charlton and George Best, before continuing to Manchester Cathedral.
The lead car in the cortege displayed a Scottish flag in its rear window, paying tribute to Law's heritage.
The emotional scene saw supporters line the route, applauding as the procession made its way around the stadium where Law had made 404 appearances over 11 years.
Diana Law paid an emotional tribute to her father, saying he was now reunited with club greats Charlton and Best.

"There is an Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman. I think of them all up there in heaven. Reunited smiling down. Maybe they have started a team already with Sir Matt as the manager," she said.
Sir Alex Ferguson delivered a moving speech about his fellow Scotsman, recalling Pele's high praise for Law.
"Trying to place Denis in the pantheon of all time greats is a challenge. But it is made easier by Pele. He said Denis Law was a British player who could get in the great Brazil team," Ferguson said.
The service concluded with Rod Stewart's rendition of Angel.
