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.

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United 

46' - We are back underway at the John Smith's Stadium!

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United

50' - Luke Shaw concedes a free-kick on the edge of the United box as he brings Collin Quaner down 20 yards from goal.

Tom Ince is standing over the ball...

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United

51' - Tom Ince's free-kick deflects off the wall and into the path of Rajiv van La Parra, who snatches at his volley with the goal at his mercy!

That could so easily have been the equaliser for the hosts.

United winger Alexis Sanchez hits the turf

GOAL! Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United (Lukaku)

56' - A swift counter-attack involving Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez concludes with the former slotting a cool finish past Jonas Lossl to double United's lead!

United's No 9 has been ruthless today.

Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United

63' - Goalscorer Romelu Lukaku attempts to turn provider as he plays Juan Mata in on goal with a nice reverse pass. However, the Spaniard, on his weaker right foot, fails to produce a meaningful shot on goal.

This little chap had a moment to remember as Alexis Sanchez picked him up during the celebrations for United's second goal

Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United

69' - Huddersfield look to have had the wind taken out of their sails by that second United goal and it's now the visitors who look the more likely team to score next.

David Wagner has just made a couple of changes, with Terence Kongolo and Florent Hadergjonaj coming off for Scott Malone and Tommy Smith.

Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United

73' - Romelu Lukaku has a hat-trick opportunity from Ashley Young's cut-back but the Belgian takes far too many touches and his shot, when he eventually takes it, is blocked.
