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 United midfielder Darren Fletcher is relishing the prospect of returning to league action.
The Scotland international, currently away with the national squad for World Cup qualifiers against Wales and Belgium, has not featured in a Barclays Premier League match since November 2011 since being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
He has played in the Champions League and Capital One Cup this season, but is still waiting for the call in the league.
"It's what it's all about, getting as many games as possible," Fletcher, who has also played for the under-21s and in behind-closed-doors games to help his fitness, told MUTV.
"I know the manager has got such a big squad now, especially in the midfield area, and there is a lot of competition for places.
"I have to be patient and wait for my chances but, hopefully, one will come around sooner rather than later.
"I think my general fitness is fine, it's just match fitness - the sharpness, reaction times, things in your head and things like that.
"The positional sense, when you're a little bit older, comes back to you fairly quickly."
