Global emissions have rebounded to worrying levels after a historic decline in 2020, according to new data.

MANCHESTER UNITED lack 'quality' upfront and 'need a centre-forward more than anything', according to Jamie Carragher. And SunSport have detailed five big name strikers the Red Devils could sign at the end of the season. The Red Devils failed to score against a fellow member of the 'Big Six' for a sixth time in a row against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
