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.

what is the most frightening thing that you have ever seen happen in life

It’s a man looking over his family during the British Raj in India. There were many cases of cannibalism and he feared someone would try to kill and eat his children or wife. I acknowledge this is a difficult picture to look at— but I included it for a reason. Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was

WHAT A HUSBAND TOLD HIS WIFE THE NIGHT OF THEIR MARRIAGE/ WEDDING

My wife, everyone has gone home. The music is quiet, the celebration is over. Our wedding was beautiful but it is now in the past. We have finished the wedding/marriage, it is now time to build our marriage. All that is left now is the two of us… What we will become tomorrow, starts from tonight. Our life is no longer the same. There was a day you put on one red dress… You looked so beautiful in it. That Day I wanted to just touch you! We were in the Cinema and I was so tempted. I wanted to just take you inside the toilet and kiss you but I couldn’t. Guess what? Now I have you forever, I can do that everyday. Before I take off your cloth and make love to you… let me tell you few things. I have nothing to hide from you from this day. My phone, you can use it like your own. You can access my facebook, my twitter and my Instagram From today, I have become a child. For the past five years of my life, I have been a man. I wake myself up in the morning, sometimes I go to bed hung

MARRIED OR NOT, YOU SHOULD READ This life moment

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know crewhat I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? You know  I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her! With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten
