The Football Association charged the England star with using 'offensive, insulting and/or abusive language' after he swore into a television camera after completing his hat-trick in United's 4-2 win at West Ham on Saturday.
Now the Old Trafford giants are considering their position and they have until 6pm on Tuesday to launch an appeal.
As it stands Rooney will get a two-match ban which would see him miss the Premier League clash with Fulham and the FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City.
Whilst not contesting the charge, United are thought to be keen on seeing the suspension reduced to one game.
Under the FA's new fast-track rules, introduced at the start of this season, the case would be heard as soon as Wednesday and would be handled by an independent regulatory commission.
However, they also have the power to extend the ban by another match, which would see Rooney miss the league match with Newcastle - but that appears to be a risk they are willing to take.
Should Rooney appeal, then under the new rules he would also not be able to ask for a personal hearing or be represented before the commission.
