Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku denies accusing team-mates of hiding during shock Sevilla loss
Belgian international has taken to social media to clarify comments he made after their shock KO from the Champions League
ROMELU LUKAKU has denied ripping into his Manchester United team-mates after their Champions League KO.
Sevilla star Wissam Ben Yedder's brace was enough for a shock win for the Spanish side and dump Jose Mourinho's team out of Europe.
Lukaku got a late consolation but appeared to accuse some of his colleagues of hiding during their embarrassing elimination.
Lukaku, who has scored 24 times this season, said: "Some teams will flow with some players but some players are hiding.
"The deception was really big because I think we started the game well.
"But then we let the get control of the game and then we had a few half chances but didn't score."
