‘Had no idea he was a fan’ – Supporters stunned as they ‘spot James Corden’ in the Newcastle end at Wembley

A JAMES CORDEN look-a-like was spotted in the Newcastle end for Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Manchester United at Wembley.

The Toon army were handed a Wembley allocation of 32,000 - but thousands more made the trip down to the capital for the game.

But one fan that has been spotted in the Newcastle end looks awfully similar to TV star James Corden.

The shirtless man, who has NUFC plastered on his belly, also had what fans can only describe as George Michael hair.

One Carabao Cup final viewer said: "Had no idea James Corden was a Newcastle fan…"

Another tweeted: "James Corden getting involved, good to see."

A third added: "George Michael hairdo."

TV star Corden is, of course, a massive West Ham fan.

The Toon found themselves down 2-0 at half-time.

Man Utd midfielder Casemiro opened the scoring, guiding his header into the far corner of Loris Karius' net.

Marcus Rashford's shot then deflected off Sven Botman and in to give the Red Devils a healthy lead.

Wout Weghorst - playing as a No10 - was unlucky to not get a third for United.

The January signing got in behind Newcastle's back line and unleashed a ferocious shot on target, forcing Karius into a smart save.
