United are desperate to improve their midfield following their worst ever Premier League season and could return with another bid.
It’s understood new manager Xabi Alonso views Tchouaméni as a key member of his squad, however, and won’t entertain any attempts to lure him away.
It remains to be seen whether the France international would be willing to make the move to Old Trafford considering the recent turmoil.
