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 Tom Cleverley is challenging for a return to the side for tomorrow's match against Liverpool, while Luis Nani is a doubt.
Sir Alex Ferguson, who has declared that Cleverley is "probably the best midfielder in Britain," seems more likely to have him on the bench. The midfielder trained yesterday but Ferguson would have liked to get him back in a reserves match with Chelsea on Monday night, though the weather put paid to that.
Ferguson is still short defensively. Chris Smalling and Phil Jones are likely to be ready for next week's visit to Ajax, where United begin their Europa League campaign, but they are unlikely to be risked against Liverpool. Nani's absence suggests the foot injury he sustained at Arsenal last month may be serious, though Ferguson has dampened suggestions the Portuguese may be out for two months.
The Liverpool manager, Kenny Dalglish, has sought to ease any tensions in the build-up. "I'm sure people will want to talk about Luis Suarez, but he accepted his ban, served his suspension and returned. It's time for all of us to draw a line," he said.
"People are already speculating on the pre-match ceremony, but from Luis's point of view we have spoken to him and I know he will shake the hand of Patrice Evra and the other Manchester United players."
