A big summer lies ahead for Newcastle United after an impressive campaign from Rafael Benitez's side, which provided plenty of encouragement.
With Miguel Almiron signing for a club-record fee and youngsters like Sean Longstaff proving their worth, the Magpies have a solid platform to build upon over the course of the coming seasons.
The danger, as ever, is that other clubs look to throw a spanner into the works by trying to swoop for the players catching the eye and reports this week have attributed Manchester United with an interest in Longstaff .
However, rather surprisingly, the fans are not impressed with the links with the 21-year-old as they want bigger and better things - which suggests they haven' actually seen much of Newcastle's breakthrough ace.
