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.Sir Alex Ferguson has called for Manchester United fans to respect Liverpool and cease singing about the Hillsborough disaster.
Ferguson takes his team to Anfield tomorrow and has requested United fans stop chants about the 1989 FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough at which 96 Liverpool supporters died.
"I always consider this to be the game of the season in English football," Ferguson said.
"We need each other. Respect should be adhered to. Shouts of Hillsborough don't do either club any good."
His comments come after last month's Carling Cup match between Leeds and Manchester United at Elland Road.
The game was marred by chants about the 1958 Munich air disaster, in which 11 United players and staff were killed, and Leeds' game at Galatasaray in 2000 when two of the Yorkshire club's supporters were stabbed to death.
