Should France turn Morocco's carriage into a pumpkin, it would be fitting if Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are Manchester United's participants in the World Cup final.
Martinez is the only outfield player who has started all 13 of United's Premier League games so far this season and the recall of Varane against Liverpool signalled the momentum shift.
United elected Varane to stop in the mixed zone that heady and humid August evening at Old Trafford that started with an angry mob marching around Old Trafford and ended with them almost levitating out of the stadium.
