Is virt-manager running on the kvm host or guest?

If its the guest you cant connect to local host.  The VM is not aware its a
VM so you have to connect to the KVM server using the remote connection
URI.  Like this ..

qemu+ssh://user@kvmhost.tld/

Id recommend looking up setting a normal user to manage KVM so you can use
SSH + auth key.
