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.Roy Keane has revealed that he earned "a few bob" when the Glazer family controversially took over Manchester United in 2005.
In his autobiography The Second Half the former captain says he had shares in the club that were boosted when the Americans came in.
"From the players’ point of view, it didn’t bother us too much. I had a few shares in the club as part of my contract. So the Glazers coming in was worth a few bob to me."
Malcolm Glazer's controversial takeover led to mass fan protests at Old Trafford, with a huge number of fans wearing green and gold scarves to represent their opposition to the move, while a fan group set up semi-professional FC United in protest.
A huge amount of funds have been taken out of the club over the nine-year period to pay debts owed by the American family.
