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.British record signing Angel Di Maria will definitely miss the match against Stoke on Tuesday night after picking up a hamstring injury against Hull at the weekend.
Di Maria lasted played just 14 minutes of Manchester United's 3-0 win at Old Trafford, and is unlikely to feature. Wayne Rooney also picked up a knock during the game but is expected to be fit in time to face Mark Hughes' team.
Speaking to MUTV, United boss Louis van Gaal said: "Angel shall be out for Stoke, I think.
"Wayne, I don't know. He said he would be fit for Stoke. I hope he is because he is in great form."
Rooney scored his fifth Premier League goal of the season on Saturday as United consolidated their place in the top four, and are now four points off third-place Southampton, who they play next Monday.
Radamel Falcao could make his first appearance in more than a month while Jonny Evans has an outside chance of making a return to first-team action against Stoke, but Jesse Lingard, Rafael, Phil Jones and Luke Shaw will all have to wait to make their return.
Daley Blind remains a long-term concern.
