His chances of being fit for the Three Lions looked bleak when United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said there were doubts he would play again before the summer.
Yet the Norwegian revealed his forward should return before the end of the season, putting him in the frame for England.
Harry Kane, out with a hamstring injury since New Year’s Day, also plans to return in early April for Tottenham.
And Solskjaer gave England boss Gareth Southgate more good news, saying: “The scan came back quite positive but we will give him time.
“He’s desperate to come back, of course, but it’ll be another couple of months before we see him.
“We can’t rush it, but when he is fit he will be stronger for it and it’s going to be a big boost for us.
“He wants the boys to do well so he can return and play the Euros.
“Hopefully we get through in the FA Cup and we’ve got the league — he wants to be there at the business end.”
