The shortlist for Tag Heuer Premier League Young Player of the Year has been announced, with Manchester United boasting three of the eight nominees for the 2019/20 season.

A memorable Premier League campaign was finally concluded on 26 July, one that will go down in the history books for a multitude of reasons. Yet, amid an unprecedented halt and a new league champion, one of the main takeaways from the season was the outstanding performances from a host of young players.

Choosing eight was surely tough, but the nominees have been officially announced and voting can now take place.

Starting with United, the club secured a third place finish in the table, largely due to the performances of three of their young talents. Anthony Martial enjoyed his finest individual campaign to date, scoring 17 goals and setting up a further seven in the top flight. It's a similar story for Marcus Rashford, who too broke his own records by scoring 17 goals and registering eight assists.

Alongside the forward duo is 18-year-old Mason Greenwood, whose breakthrough season has taken everyone by surprise. His ten goals and one assist have featured some sumptuous efforts, with it fully expected to be the beginning of a superb career.

Over in Liverpool it's been a historic season for the club, who secured a maiden Premier League crown in record-breaking style. Speaking of records, Trent Alexander-Arnold racked up the most assists in Premier League history by a defender with 13 - a record he had set himself in the previous season. His four goals weren't bad either.

There is also Jack Grealish, who captained Aston Villa and was their talisman as they retained their Premier League status for another season on the final day of fixtures with a 1-1 draw against West Ham. His 14 goal contributions were integral to their success.

The only goalkeeper on the list, Dean Henderson, was in fabulous form for Sheffield United as they comfortably avoided relegation with a top half finish. His 13 clean sheets were bettered by only three other goalkeepers last term.

Chelsea boast the final two nominees, with attacking duo Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount playing key roles in Frank Lampard's side finishing in the top four.

In just 25 matches, Pulisic scored nine times and laid on another six goals for his teammates, while Mount - playing in a combination of attacking midfield and winger roles - featured in all but one of the Blues' league fixtures, notching 13 goal contributions during that time.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...
