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.Barcelona midfielder Javier Mascherano believes Manchester United have secured the services of one of the top 10 players in the world after signing Angel Di Maria this week.
United smashed the British transfer record in paying Real Madrid £59.7million for Di Maria as the Red Devils continue their summer rebuilding under new manager Louis van Gaal.
Mascherano, who plays alongside Di Maria for Argentina, is a huge fan of the 26-year-old winger and believes United's gain is Real's loss.
He told El Mundo Deportivo: "It's not a matter that concerns me but I think it's a loss (for Real). He's a player who I like a lot. He's among the 10 best in the world.
"As well as unsettling opponents, he's able to defend and covers a lot of ground. You can use him in many positions."
