Manchester United scouts were apparently in attendance for Georgia’s 3-1 defeat by Spain on Sunday to get a close-up view of Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The 22-year-old was instrumental in Napoli’s run to the Scudetto last season and has scored 17 goals and registered 22 assists in his 58 games since joining the club in July 2022. Kvaratskhelia netted for Georgia in the Euro 2028 qualifying defeat to Spain, his 15th goal in 28 caps.

Meanwhile, Sport Italia reports that Juventus are in contact with Sancho over a loan deal. The exiled attacker is expected to be loaned out in January and could be sold in the summer should the stand off with Ten Hag continue.
Rumours suggest Juventus are willing to pay part of his wages and the club remain in the picture even if United took a sale-only stance. It is claimed Sancho is not
