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.The Glazer family last night issued a notice of intent to sell just over 10 per cent of Manchester United on the New York Stock Exchange, aiming to raise around $300m (£190m).
In a development that is likely to anger fans unhappy with the Glazers' ownership, there appears to have been a significant shift in how the proceeds of the flotation will be used.
Previously, it was suggested that the entire sum would be used to pay off United's £400m debt. However, the prospectus released to accompany yesterday's announcement indicates only half the money will be used in that way, with the rest going directly to the family.
United have also announced a seven-year shirt sponsorship deal with Chevrolet. The deal starts in 2014-15 and is worth £25m a season.
