The duo were warming up at the Allianz Stadium in Turin as they prepared to face Manchester United.

Ex-Arsenal No1 Szczesny was working on his kicking when he aimed a powerful strike straight at his team-mate.

Dybala, 24, certainly felt the impact and fumed at the Polish keeper, who offered his apologies.

The Juve star was in the wars during the first-half as well as Nemanja Matic clattered into him.

United's Serbian midfielder was booked over the incident in a scoreless opening period.

Hosts Juventus enjoyed the best of the chances as Sami Khedira hit the post from inside the area.

But the Old Lady - who won 1-0 at Old Trafford - could not break down their visitors.

Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo will hope to make more of an impact in the second-half.
