Tuchel took Lukaku out of firing line for Lille game
Thomas Tuchel revealed he took Chelsea's club-record signing Romelu Lukaku out of the firing line for the 2-0 Champions League win over Lille. Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic hit the net as Chelsea produced a fine last-16 first-leg victory at Stamford Bridge, with £98million striker Lukaku an unused replacement.

'It's a bit strange' - Fred questions Manchester United's long-term planning
Midfielder Fred has expressed concerns about Manchester United's long-term planning, admitting "it is a bit strange" to be under an interim manager for the rest of the season. Having parted company with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November, Ralf Rangnick was handed the reins for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign before he starts a two-year consultancy role with the club. United are currently in Spain preparing to take on Atletico Madrid in their first Champions League last-16 appearance since 2019, when they were also playing under a caretaker boss. Solskjaer got the permanent job shortly after that jaw-dropping triumph against Paris St Germain and Fred is surprised the club are back in the same situation. "It is a bit strange," he told TNT Sports Brazil. "I know in football it's important to get good results as soon as possible, but it's also important to have a long-term plan. "I think it's a little bit bad for us not to have one, at the moment it's all about the short-term goals. We don't know how it's going to be after the end of this season." Fred's comments come as United face up to the prospect of another trophyless season unless they upset the odds and go all the way in the Champions League. "Every player that comes to this club wants to win titles," said Fred, who joined from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018 - a year after the club's last trophy.
