United made enquiries for Simons before he joined Holland's Euros squad in June.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting that PSG were willing to do business, but Simons preferred the option of a return to the Bundesliga for the new season.

United manager Erik ten Hag was full of praise for Simons in his role as pundit for Dutch TV during the Euros.
