Man United are in the market for a new winger to replace Antony and Jadon Sancho.
The duo are currently out of the squad for different reasons.
Antony is out as he deals with abuse allegations from three women and will not be back “until further notice”.
Sancho on the other hand has had a public feud with manager Erik ten Hag after being dropped ahead of the defeat to Arsenal.
Kvaratskhelia, 22, has emerged as a potential option for the Red Devils.
The Daily Mail have claimed that the Old Trafford outfit are “admirers” of the winger.
However, the report suggests that Man United may only be able to sign the Georgian International on loan until the end of the season.
This would be down to the club struggling to keep in FFP guidelines after failing to cash in on fringe players during the summer.

Stars such as Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay were wanted but clubs such as West Ham, Fulham and Everton but deals fell through.
Kvaratskhelia was highly rated following his performances last season in which he scored 14 and assisted 10 more.
However, he has not scored for his club since a 4-0 win over Torino in March.
Despite his questionable recent form, Napoli would still demand a high fee for the skillful winger.
