The Red Devils will err on the side of caution as Roo edges his way back from injury...
The News of the World claims that Manchester United have become deeply concerned with the length of Wayne Rooney's ongoing recovery from a hamstring problem.
The England forward was initially expected to miss three weeks after he was forced from the field early in the Premier League giants' win over Wigan Athletic on January 14.
However, the 23-year-old could now sit on the sidelines until the end of February, as Sir Alex Ferguson doesn't want to risk bringing back his star striker too early.
The timing could hardly be worse for United, who are already decimated by injuries. Owen Hargreaves is out for the season, while Rafael, Nani, Anderson, Jonny Evans, Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown, Patrice Evra and Park Ji-Sung are carrying various knocks and strains.
Carlos Tevez could benefit hugely, though, as Rooney's absence should allow him an extended run in the first team.
