From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Manchester United are discussing terms with the Norwegian prodigy, Erland Hansveit. But under the terms of the mooted deal, the 17-year-old Brann Bergen midfielder would not become an official Old Trafford player until 2001.
If negotiations are successful, Hansveit could sign preliminary forms with United, but there will be a loan-style agreement whereby he will play for his current club for the next three seasons.
"There have been discussions, but nothing has been finalised," the United director, Maurice Watkins, said yesterday.
Norway has proved to be a fruitful source of players for the United manager, Alex Ferguson, with Ronny Johnsen and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer both enjoying success at Old Trafford.
