Anthony Martial made a triumphant return to the France starting line-up in their 2-2 draw with Germany on Tuesday night.

The 22-year-old started on the left wing and played the full 90 minutes as he assisted Alexandre Lacazette's opener. Martial'sjinky movement for the goal was reminiscent of his creativity in Manchester United's pre-season game against Real Madrid when he teed up a tap-in for Jesse Lingard.

The Germany Twitter account wrote: "Sacre bleu! Nothing Trapp can do this time, as Martial goes full FIFA to give Lacazette a tap-in." Lars Stindl's 93rd-minute equaliser denied France victory in Cologne.

"It’s good for the team, it’s good for them," France coach Didier Deschamps said when asked about Martial and Lacazette. "It was not a passing exam but I warned the whole group to enjoy the time of the game that would be awarded.

"After thinking about those who were not there and who could have been there and those who were there and who were successful, the choices will be difficult [for the World Cup squad]."

Romelu Lukaku has not scored in seven games for United but made it three in two on international duty for Belgium. The 24-year-old became the country's record goalscorer when he headed in his 31st international strike against Japan. Lukaku had drawn level with Bernard Voorhoof and Paul van Himst against Mexico last week.

Last, and very much least, three United players featured in England's latest goalless game at Wembley. Marcus Rashford started against Brazil, while Jesse Lingard came on for the injured Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the first-half before Ashley Young emerged for the closing stages.

David de Gea conceded three in Spain's 3-3 draw with Russia as La Roja extended their unbeaten run to 10 matches. Daley Blind started in the Netherlands' 3-0 stroll against Romania in Bucharest.
