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.

Manchester United travel to Leicester looking to put their midweek defeat at the hands of Bristol City behind them. They take on a Leicester side who have rediscovered their form under Claude Puel but, if last week's humiliation against Crystal Palace is anything to go by, remain defensively vulnerable. Stick around for the live action as it happens!


Post-match quotes from Harry Maguire

"A last-minute goal to equalise is massive for us. They had a couple of chances to kill the game. It's a great moment for us all and we're going to enjoy it.

"It was crucial to keep it at 2-1 when we went down to 10 men. We knew we would get a chance and thankfully it fell to me and I put it away.

"It's one of those games when we'll go back to the changing room and it will feel like a victory."

Post-match quotes from Jose Mourinho

On why United didn't win: "We didn't win because we missed incredible chances. We missed joke chances. In the last second of the game we make a big defensive mistake, so it's an accumulation of mistakes in an easy match.

"The team was playing well and kept the composure and equalised before half-time. In the second half, as we all know, the result should be four, five or six. The reality is it was 2-2. It was an easy match to win, we did everything to win. But when you miss chances and lose possession childishly, you are punished in the end."
