Speaking after United's disappointing 2-1 elimination from Europe's most prestigious club competition, Lukaku appeared to blame some of his peers, criticising them for "hiding" during such an important match.
Understandably the comments caused quite a stir, but the Belgian striker has now come out to backtrack somewhat on his interview to 'BT Sport'.
Using his official Instagram account, Lukaku posted a photo of himself from the game, looking upset, with the caption: "Never will I criticise my teammates!"
"Hiding your face when you're upset in the dressing room is normal... The result is terrible but we're [Manchester United], we will bounce back for sure with your support! Another big game coming up, time to prepare for that one"
"200 goals now in my young career but it's time to add trophies in my career... time to work even harder".
The 24-year-old is referring to United's FA Cup quarter-final clash with Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend, which represents their last hope for silverware in an otherwise disappointing season so far.
