At the time, Ten Hag's position was being reviewed by United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team as alternative options were being approached.
Hoeness fielded contact from United, but politely "declined".
Having guided Stuttgart to a second-place finish, Hoeness was eager to guide his team in the Champions League this season.
