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.

Manchester United's chief executive, David Gill, yesterday denied that the G14 group, which represents the interests of 18 leading European clubs, want to break away from Uefa, Europe's governing body, and form their own league.

"I can categorically deny Manchester United or any other club in Europe has any interest in forming our own league," Gill said. "We are very comfortable with Uefa running the Champions' League. It is the best competition in the world. You need someone to organise a competition and the clubs don't want to do that."
