The Ligue 1 side had no intention of triggering his £6m option to buy, so the Red Devils reportedly put him on the market for even less.
Man Utd are now said to be willing to sell the Ivory Coast international for just £2m.
Ten Hag has already introduced three new additions to his first team squad this summer.
Mason Mount was first to join the club when he made a £60m switch from Chelsea last month.
Andre Onana followed after completing a £47m transfer from Inter Milan.
And Rasmus Hojlund became the latest addition to Ten Hag’s squad when he joined in a £72m move last week.
However, there are now some concerns surrounding his fitness after it emerged that a hidden back injury will keep him sidelined for the first few weeks of the Premier League season.
