Rooney was stretchered off the Old Trafford field after the accidental clash with Hugo Rodallega in the home side's 3-2 victory. The England striker is expected to be out of action for four weeks.
Rooney was charging down a shot by the Fulham substitute, whose boot connected with the England striker's leg.
Television pictures showed a severe gash down Rooney's right leg, with blood coming from the deep wound.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: "It was a very bad one. He has gone to hospital. It looks like he will be out for four weeks."
United won the game.
