There have been some concepts to fit the ATV with a descent module, but not budgeted plans.

This one discussed in topic Initial Jules Verne ATV Countdown and Launch and more extensively in topic Jules Verne in space?

That's not for manned flight, but to support manned ISS activities. ATV is Automated Transfer Vehicle.
