Manchester United is in mourning following the death of former centre-forward Wyn Davies, who passed away at the age of 83.

The club announced the sad news in a heartfelt message on their official website on Thursday, paying tribute to a player who contributed to United's rich history during the early 1970s.

🗣️ "Everyone at Manchester United is deeply saddened by the passing of Wyn Davies. We send our condolences to his family, friends, and former teammates."

🏴 A Career That Spanned Eras and Clubs

Born in 1942 in Caernarfon, Wales, Davies began his professional career at Wrexham before going on to enjoy impressive stints with Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United, where he became a fan favorite for his aerial dominance and tireless work ethic.

After a short spell with Manchester City in 1971, he made a surprise switch to Manchester United in 1972 for a fee of £65,000 — a respectable figure at the time. Though his time at United was brief, his impact was felt during a challenging period of transition for the club.

Davies also earned 34 caps for the Wales national team, showcasing his talent on the international stage with pride.
