Whether it was on a permanent transfer, loan deal or expiring contract, around 20 players exited St James’s Park ahead of Steve Bruce’s second season in charge.
The likes of Danny Rose, Valentino Lazaro and Nabil Bentaleb returned to their parent clubs, while some of United’s upcoming talent secured loan moves in the Football League.
Here, we take a look at those who departed Tyneside – and how they are faring at their new clubs.
9. Tom Allan
Allan, who made his first-team debut in the FA Cup last year, joined Accrington Stanley on a season-long loan but was swiftly recalled by Newcastle in January after appearing just four times for the League One outfit. Photo: Ian MacNicol
10. Kelland Watts
The young defender has near enough been an ever-present member of Plymouth Argyle’s defence - missing just two matches. He was recently nominated for the League One Player of the Month award in March. Photo: Stu Forster
11. Nathan Harker
Following a brief loan spell at National League North side Blyth Spartans, the goalkeeper was told he was to be released at the end of the 2019/20 season. Harker had trialled at Sunderland but is still without a club. Photo: Ian MacNicol
12. Elias Sorensen
Sorensen moved to second-tier Netherlands side Almere City FC on loan last summer - scoring five goals in 23 appearances and collecting four assists. He is, however, currently sidelined with a hamstring injury. Photo: Charlotte Tattersall
