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.Luke Shaw has recovered from a hamstring injury and is in line to make his Manchester United debut against Queens Park Rangers at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The 19-year-old left-back, whose fitness levels were criticised by manager Louis van Gaal during pre-season, picked up a hamstring problem against Valencia on 16 August.
While Shaw, the £30m addition from Southampton, is available to play - Van Gaal remains without nine other first-team players, including Ander Herrera and Rafael.
"When I left for the international break it was 10 [players injured] so only one is back – Shaw," Van Gaal told reporters at his press briefing today.
"Shaw is fit enough to play but not the whole game – there is a difference. [Marouane] Fellaini is longer than a month and [Phil] Jones is maybe three weeks or a month.
"[Michael] Carrick is not ready but he has run for the first time on grass, which is unbelievable after eight weeks. [Sam] Johnstone has elbow problems, [Chris] Smalling is not fit enough but he shall train tomorrow with the second-team squad for the first time.
"[James] Wilson and [Reece] James are not ready yet, and [Jesse] Lingard and [Ashley] Young are also injured."
Alongside Shaw, Radamel Falcao, Marcos Rojo, and Daley Blind could all also make their debuts for the club this weekend.
