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.

So Adnan Januzaj, the latest from Manchester United’s production line of wonderkids made quite the impact at the weekend – scoring twice in his first start for the club at the age of 18. But for every Giggs, Beckham and Scholes, there is a Macheda and a Spector.

Here we look at some of United’s young prospects over the years, and whether they were a hit or a miss at Old Trafford. To see the gallery CLICK HERE or click 'VIEW GALLERY'.
