The striker will miss Manchester United's Europa League action against FC Midtjylland on Thrusday. He'll also miss the FA Cup and other important League matches with the EURO 2016 Finals in the horizon.
Rooney played full 90 minutes at the Stadium of Light as Sunderland secured a rare victory against the Red Devils on Sunday.He is thought to have picked up the problem in training in the days since the trip to Wearside.
It is not the first time Rooney has picked up an injury so close to a major international tournament, and he will miss friendlies against Germany and Netherlands in March as a result of his latest setback.
Manager Louis van Gaal is expected to confirm the extent of Rooney’s injury during a pre-match Europa League press conference in Denmark later on Wednesday.
Despite largely being criticised for his performances this season as United have struggled for form, the skipper had hit a purple patch in recent weeks, scoring five times and assisting a further three goals in his last eight league outings.
