Rooney has missed United's Premier League matches against Arsenal, Watford and West Bromwich Albion, as well as the FA Cup victory at Shrewsbury and both legs of the Europa League clash with FC Midtjylland.
In his absence, and with team-mate Anthony Martial also picking up a knock, youngster Marcus Rashford has burst onto the scene with four goals in his first two matches for the club, though he failed to net in his last two appearances.
A late-March return for Rooney would still see him miss both legs of the Europa League last 16 meeting with Liverpool and the FA Cup quarter-final against West Ham, while the Manchester Derby on March 20 may come too soon for him.
He could return for England's upcoming friendlies against Germany (March 26) and the Netherlands (March 29).Explore more on these topics:
