Newcastle United manager Chris Hughton remains confident that striker Andy Carroll will score sufficient goals to keep the Magpies in the Premier League.

Carroll, 21, missed a chance in the early exchanges of Monday's 3-0 defeat at Manchester United but Hughton said he would keep faith in his number nine.

"He's young, he's a developing player and I'm sure we'll see goals from him," Hughton told BBC Newcastle.

Carroll netted 19 times last season to help the Magpies win the Championship.
