Newcastle ace keen to link-up with Man Utd star

Carroll made his debut for England against France earlier this month.

“Wayne is a great player so to have people talking about me and him playing up front for England means a lot,” he said.

“I definitely think we could form a decent partnership. The way we both play I reckon we’d go well together.”

“I knew I was capable of playing for England. In my head I wanted to step up and I knew I could do it,” he continued.

“Now I’ve played one game, I have to try and keep my place in the squad.

“Turning up at the England hotel was good. The rest of the lads were there and I just walked in all normal, like – as if I should be there. We had a bit of banter and that was that.”
