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.

The Glazer family, who own Manchester United, are set to pay off £220million of high-interest loans.

Holding company Red Football Joint Venture will pay off the entire Payment In Kind debt next week, according to a notice seen by Bloomberg.

The American family will use their own money to settle the debt. The move should reassure United fans who have been concerned about the debt burden on the club – now the debt will be solely the £526m bond agreed earlier this year.
