Wayne Rooney will fly to Dubai for a warm-weather break after being told he does not require knee surgery that could have jeopardised his chances of captaining England at Euro 2016.
Rooney damaged ligaments in Manchester United's defeat at Sunderland last month and will keep his right knee in a protective brace for another two weeks.
But United boss Louis van Gaal has given his skipper permission to take wife Coleen to one of their favourite destinations for a week, having allowed Bastian Schweinsteiger and Phil Jones to spend time in Dubai recently during their recuperation from injury.
Van Gaal also raised the possibility of Rooney returning to action sooner than expected, although the 30-year-old striker is unlikely to be fit for England's friendlies against Germany and Holland at the end of this month.
Roy Hodgson's team kick off their Euro 2016 campaign against Russia on June 11, and there were fears that Rooney could struggle to be fit in time if he needed surgery.
