Football: United's jetsetters
Your support helps us to tell the story
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 hired a private jet last night to bring Roy Keane and Denis Irwin back after the Republic of Ireland's game in Romania in order to avoid delays in their preparations for the Premiership run- in.
Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, wanted his World Cup players back as quickly as possible to get them ready for Saturday morning's game against Leicester. Ronny Johnsen and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer were playing for Norway, at home to Finland, and Peter Schmeichel was in Denmark playing against Slovenia.
United supporters plan to sue the Portuguese police following last month's violent scenes in Porto. United fans were exonerated by a Uefa inquiry into incidents before and after the European Cup quarter-final second leg, and many who claimed they were attacked by police are planning legal action. Porto were fined pounds 45,000 for "serious lack of organisation" as Uefa came down firmly on the side of the English fans.
