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.Hello and welcome to coverage of the FA CUp clash between League One Shrewsbury Town and Manchester United.
Louis van Gaal's side are the obvious favourites to progress but with numerous injuries to key players - including David De Gea and Wayne Rooney - and poor recent form, the Shrews may well sense they have a great chance to nick a result.
The winner of this tie will go on to face West Ham United at home in the quarter-final.
United enter the game on the back of two bad results, losing to relegation threatened Sunderland and Danish minnows FC Midtjylland in the Europa League.
- Shrewsbury have lost three of their last four at home
- Micky Mellon's team have beaten two Championship sides - Cardiff City and Sheffield Wednesday - to progress this far
- Manchester United have won just five of their last 18 in all competitions
