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.Darren Fletcher has warned his Manchester United team-mates not to be taken in by the defeatist talk coming out of the Celtic camp ahead of tonight's Champions League showpiece at Parkhead.
Hoops manager Gordon Strachan has virtually dismissed any hope of a home win that would rescue their hopes of reaching the knockout stage, while Celtic's dismal display at Old Trafford a fortnight ago has merely heightened an inferiority complex within Scottish ranks.
But as a seasoned member of the national side, Fletcher knows it is all part of the plan.
And if United are not careful, they could end up getting a nasty surprise.
"You have to take everything they say with a pinch of salt," he said.
"They are building us up now but when the match starts, all reputations will be put to one side because they want our scalp."
