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.Antoine Griezmann has agreed personal terms and will join Manchester United in the summer. Reports in France state that the 25-year-old will be paid the same £15m salary as Paul Pogba, a close friend of his in the French national side. He has already asked to wear the number seven shirt vacated by the sale of Memphis Depay to Lyons.
The arrival of Griezmann is likely to spell the end of Wayne Rooney’s time at Old Trafford but although Manchester United have agreed Griezmann’s salary they have still to agree a fee with Manchester United, although only the details remain to be decided.
Griezmann is under contract to Atletico Madrid until 2021 and the club are insisting that Manchester United pay the full balance of the buy-out clause in his contract which is £85m – slightly less than the fee paid to Juventus for Pogba.
This Manchester United are said to be prepared to do, although Atletico are demanding the transfer is settled by a single payment. It means that Manchester United are likely to start next season with the two most expensive footballers in the world.
