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.

Man U finance chief's contract

DAVID GILL, the finance director of Manchester United, will receive a pay-off worth more than pounds 300,000 if he leaves the club before 30 June 2000.

Under a contract agreed with British Sky Broadcasting, the satellite television group which has tabled a pounds 623m bid for the football club, Mr Gill is entitled to twice his salary and the average of his bonuses for the previous two years if he resigns or is sacked. The contract is disclosed in the document detailing BSkyB's bid. The document also shows that Professor Sir Roland Smith, Manchester United's chairman, will stay on as a consultant until 30 April, while Amer AlMidani, now a non-executive director, will join the board.
