Manchester United's supporters breathed a collective sigh of relief after defender Raphael Varane came through France's 2-0 win over Austria on Thursday evening unscathed.
Sporting the captain's armband, the centre-back completed the match, helping the reigning World Cup holders record their first win of their current Nations League campaign.
Second-half goals from Kylian Mbappe and former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud were enough to seal a routine win for Didier Deschamps' side.
Following the win over Ralf Rangnick's troops, France will be looking to make it back-to-back wins when they face Denmark in Copenhagen on Sunday, in a contest which will see United duo Christian Eriksen and Varane go head to head.
