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.Owen Hargreaves was a seemingly caught criticising Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal's team selection on live TV last night, while working as a commentator for BT Sport for the club's 3-2 defeat at Wolfsburg, which saw them crash out of the Champions League (watch video below).
The host Gary Lineker cut to Hargreaves and Des Kelly at Wolfsburg's Volkswagen Arena Stadium, and Hargreaves muttered to Kelly: "How can you put your only Champions League winner on the bench?".
Presumably Hargreaves was referring to midfielder Michael Carrick, who won the Champions League with United in 2008.

In the match, Anthony Martial put United ahead in the 10th minute, but Naldo volleyed in the equalser four minutes later. Vieirinha regained the lead for Wolfsburg in the 29th minute, before an own goal by Joshua Guilavogui tied the score. But two minutes later, six minutes from time Naldo scored his second with a header to seal Wolfsburg's victory.
The loss, coupled with PSV Eindhoven's 2-1 home victory over CSKA Moscow, dropped United to third place in Group B, meaning that they will now play in the Europa League.
Wolfsburg won the group with 12 points and PSV also advanced with 10 points, two more than United.
