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.

ERIC CANTONA may be the first foreigner to earn the Player of the Year accolade from his peers. The Frenchman is among a short-list of six for the Professional Footballers' Association award to be announced on 10 April.

With Ryan Giggs and Paul Ince also in the running, the award could go to Manchester United for the fourth time in six years. Peter Beardsley and his Newcastle colleague Andy Cole are also on the short-list along with Blackburn's Alan Shearer.

Giggs and Cole also appears on the Young Player short-list with Clark (Newcastle), Fowler (Liverpool), Kelly (Leeds) and Sutton (Norwich).

George Graham, the Arsenal manager, yesterday dismissed as 'pure speculation' stories that he was about to sign Internazionale's Dennis Bergkamp.
