The England international was taken to hospital after suffering a suspected neck injury in Sunday’s pre-season friendly behind closed doors.
The club said on Twitter: "Siobhan Chamberlain sustained a suspected serious neck injury during #MUFC Women's pre-season game v Liverpool. All medical precautions were taken which necessitated abandonment of the game whilst Siobhan was treated prior to hospital transfer.
"Fortunately investigations confirmed no serious injury and Siobhan is recovering well."
The 34-year-old, who has 50 caps for her country, joined United from Liverpool Ladies earlier this month.
United formed their women’s side ahead of the 2018/19 season and have been allocated a place in the second-tier Championship for what will be their inaugural campaign in women’s football, with former England international Casey Stoney as their newly-appointed manager.
