Manchester United have been handed a serious injury concern less than 10 days before the resumption of the Premier League after Raphael Varane limped off the pitch during the World Cup final.
Varane, who had been struggling with illness ahead of France's clash with Argentina, was named in the starting XI by Didier Deschamps. The United defender had been superb all competition, with many tipping the 29-year-old to be named in the team of the tournament for his superb performances while in Qatar.
A breathtaking 90 minutes could not separate the two sides as extra-time beckoned. Varane had managed to come through the majority of the match unscathed, yet United fans had their hearts in their mouths as the game drew to a close.
