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.

Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United

Scott McTominay is challenged by Huddersfield's Danny Williams

Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United

80' - Jesse Lingard replaces Juan Mata for United, who are just going through the motions now.

Huddersfield have given a really good account of themselves - especially in the first half - but they look to be out of ideas now and it would be a huge surprise to see them get back in the game.

Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United

84' - Romelu Lukaku would've been celebrating his first Manchester United hat-trick right now if it wasn't for a misplaced cut-back by Jesse Lingard.

All Lingard had to do was roll the ball into the Belgian for a tap-in into an empty net but the substitute's pass was behind Lukaku and Huddersfield managed to clear the danger.

What could this gesture possibly mean?!

Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United

89' - Huddersfield's Steve Mounie attempts an overhead kick from Danny Williams' cross but the striker's effort goes well wide of Sergio Romero's goal.

Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United

90' - We'll have a minimum of three additional minutes at the end of the match.

Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United

90+3' - Eric Bailly makes his long-awaited return to action as he replaces Romelu Lukaku in the final minute of the match.

The Ivorian defender hasn't played since November's 1-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
