PSG are yet to decide on Simons' future, but with the player seeking regular game time, a departure from the Parc de Princes seems likely.

Any potential exit would likely be a loan deal with an obligation to buy, due to a significant sell-on clause held by PSV Eindhoven, valid until 2024.

United are also pursuing deals for Netherlands internationals Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee, with the latter set to complete a £34million move from Bologna after a medical today.
