Manchester United fans are reading far too much into this Juventus tweet

It’s been a busy old summer for Juventus thus far. The Italian champions have been highly active in the transfer window, already completing deals for five new players.

Before this week, we’d seen Dani Alves head to Turin from Barcelona, along with Miralem Pjanic from Roma, Medhi Benatia from Bayern Munich and highly-rated Croatian youngster Marko Pjaca from Dinamo Zagreb.

Their latest move was finalised on Tuesday, and sees Gonzalo Higuain – Serie A’s most prolific striker last season – arrive from Napoli. The transfer is a pretty big deal (literally), with the £75m fee making the Argentine the third most expensive player in the history of the game.

With their already impressive squad now significantly strengthened, Juve are in Australia as part of their preparations for the new season. In the early hours of Wednesday morning, their official Twitter account shared this picture of the players being put through their paces on the training ground in Melbourne.

Within minutes of the tweet being sent, the ‘some are at work in the pool’ line was attracting plenty of attention. We can’t think why…

Many of those that replied to the tweet clearly believed this was a dig at Paul Pogba – the man many expect to be leaving the club in the days ahead.

Dig at @paulpogba it seems like, doesn't it?

Given (Pogba’s agent) Mino Raiola’s overprotective nature when it comes to defending his clients, many feared the worst for the person responsible for publishing the tweet…

Raiola is coming for the person who posted this. Rip

But fear not, everyone. It appears this is nothing more than a misunderstanding. As revealed by one of the replies, it seems some of the Juve squad had made use of their training facility’s swimming pool in the hours after their friendly win over Tottenham.
