A corollary of Kneser's theorem, one sees that any finite non-empty subset $A$ of an abelian group $G = (G,+)$ with $|A + A| \leq (2-\eps) |A|$ can be covered by at most $\frac{2}{\eps}-1$ translates of a finite group $H$ of cardinality at most $(2-\eps)|A|$. Using some arguments of Hamidoune, we establish an analogue in the noncommutative setting. Namely, if $A$ is a finite non-empty subset of a nonabelian group $G = (G,\cdot)$ such that $|A \cdot A| \leq (2-\eps) |A|$, then $A$ is either contained in a right-coset of a finite group $H$ of cardinality at most $\frac{2}{\eps}|A|$, or can be covered by at most $\frac{2}{\eps}-1$ right-cosets of a finite group $H$ of cardinality at most $|A|$. We also note some connections with some recent work of Sanders and of Petridis.
