The club said in a statement on Wednesday morning that Rashford would return “for the season run-in” and speaking at a news conference later in the day, United boss Erik ten Hag said he could not be more specific about when the 25-year-old might be back.
“A few games so that is the statement,” said Ten Hag, who added that Luke Shaw will also be absent against Sevilla.
“I can’t give more details because we don’t know we have to see how the injury develops.”
United are entering a crucial stage of the campaign with four games in 11 days beginning with Sevilla’s visit to Old Trafford.
Ten Hag’s team face Nottingham Forest on Sunday and then the return leg with Sevilla in Spain before an FA Cup semifinal with Brighton at Wembley on April 23.
