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.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be looking to make it seven consecutive wins since taking charge at Old Trafford, as Manchester United welcome Brighton and Hove Albion to Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford’s goal, along with David de Gea’s brilliance, secured a win against Tottenham last week which moved United level on points with Arsenal in the table.

Brighton performed valiantly in last week’s loss against Liverpool, and the Seagulls are seven points clear of the relegation zone in 13th; they also memorably beat United 3-2 in August.

Manchester United vs Brighton kicks off at 3:00pm (GMT) on Saturday 19th January.
