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.Manchester City defender Martin Demichelis has hit out at Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal.
Demichelis, 33, played under the Dutch coach at Bayern Munich but has criticised his style of management. The Argentinian spent more than seven years at the club playing almost 250 games but fell out with Van Gaal before being sold to Malaga.
"I achieved a great deal at Munich," he told German newspaper Bild. "I used my strengths to win a place in the first team.
"I became a fan of the club. I felt like a favourite son. But from the first moment Van Gaal arrived at Bayern the place began to stink."
Van Gaal arrived at Bayern in 2009, winning a Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal Cup double in his first season.
Demichelis started in the Champions League final defeat to Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan but was demoted from the team at the beginning of the next season before being sold.
