With Billy Sharp, Jack O’Connell and Enda Stevens the three senior players to depart, it leaves 18 established players either under contract or in negotiations over new deals at Bramall Lane.
A host of key players are about to enter the final 12 months of their deals, as things stand, although there are thought to be options in a number of cases which could trigger extensions. We had a look at the status of every senior player at Bramall Lane to see where they’re at going into the summer...
13. Wes Foderingham
Under contract until 2024. United’s No.1 goalkeeper last season was a big part in their promotion success and as things stand he is set to receive a long-awaited chance to shine in the top-flight. But then is another set to become a free agent next summer Photo: George Wood/Getty Images
14. Jack Robinson
Under contract until 2025. After an impressive season on the left of defence United offered him a new deal and after a bit of negotiating, a two-year contract was signed earlier this week
15. Jayden Bogle
Under contract until 2024. An exciting talent with the ball at his feet, Bogle’s end product often let him down last season and United looked a tougher proposition all round when Baldock returned to the side. He’s another out of contract next season although United are likely to have an option Photo: Alex Livesey/Getty Images
16. Ben Osborn
Under contract until 2024. Another who suffered an injury-hit campaign, Osborn’s versatility makes him a useful option and he has featured in a number of positions for Heckingbottom. Signed a new one-year deal to remain at Bramall Lane ahead of the new campaign
