Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone refuses to give up his interest in Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa.
The Daily Star Sunday says Simeone is said to be checking on Kagawa's situation personally.
Kagawa, like winger Wilfried Zaha, has not featured in the Premier League for United so far this season.
His concerns abut his future are claimed to have been increased by United's search for a midfield playmaker.
