"Manchester United" captain Wayne Rooney has suffered a knee injury that could potentially keep him out of action for more than six weeks, reports "The Guardian". This means that the club's top scorer will be unable to help his team until April. In that case, the striker would miss at least six matches, including two stages of the UEFA Europa League and the FA Cup clash with "Shrewsbury Town". The thirty-year-old footballer is also unlikely to represent the England national team in friendly matches against Germany and the Netherlands. Rooney's injury is a significant blow to the "Red Devils", who are pinning their hopes on either the Europa League or the FA Cup for success this season. Manchester's team is currently struggling in the race for Premier League medals and currently sits in fifth place. It is unclear exactly when the striker sustained the knee injury, but "Man United" coach Louis van Gaal speculates that it may have occurred during a league match against "Sunderland". As we reported yesterday, Rooney will already miss the Europa League round of 16 clash with Herning's "Midtjylland".
