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.Michael Carrick is the only likely absence when Manchester United travel to Upton park to pay West Ham on Sunday.
It is the first time all season that Louis van Gaal has had nearly all of his first-team squad available, with the club suffering rotten injury luck in his first season in charge.
United have had almost 60 injuries to their players this season, with the likes of Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Ashley Young suffering several spells on the sideline.
Chelsea, by way of comparison, have eight players who have started at least 19 of their 23 Premier League games, but only Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie have started at least that many.
Against Cambridge a trio of key players returned with Young playing his first game in a month, Jonny Evans completing 90 minutes for the first time since New Year's Day and Chris Smalling playing his first game since 11 January.
Carrick is expected to be out for about a month with a calf strain.
