Romelu Lukaku Says 'Hiding' Comment Was Not a Criticism of Man United Team-Mates

Romelu Lukaku has backtracked after appearing to criticise his Manchester United team-mates, whom he accused of "hiding" after their 2-1 loss to Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

The Belgian clarified he was not being critical of other Red Devils stars with a post on Instagram:

He had spoken to BT Sport's Des Kelly (h/t ESPN) after the final whistle, which saw United exit Europe's premier competition in the round of 16:

"Something was wrong with some players, some players were hiding. I think we started the game well, but then we let them get a bit of control in the game.
