The additions of Matt Targett, Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn, Chris Wood and Bruno Guimaraes in January all helped the Magpies secure their Premier League status with all five continuing to play their role in United’s progress this season.
Their position entering January was precarious to say the least last year, however, they will enter the winter window this time around firmly in the hunt for a European place.
