Bastian Schweinsteiger continued his rehabilitation from a knee injury at Manchester United 's Carrington training complex on Friday.

Schweinsteiger has not played since suffering the injury against Sheffield United last month and was granted a holiday by manager Louis van Gaal .

The 31-year-old headed to Dubai, where he cheered on girlfriend Ana Ivanovic in the WTA Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

Schweinsteiger this week hinted he could be back for United's Europa League round-of-16 first leg in March.

"I should be completely back on board in March," he told Bild. "A medial ligament tear takes time, but everything is healing well. I know my body, everything will be okay.

"In about five days, I'll begin to start running again and five days after that I should be training with a ball again."

Germany international Schweinsteiger was among the morning arrivals following United's Europa League thrashing of Midtjylland on Thursday night.
