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.Jesse Lingard and three Manchester United legends sat with the club's away fans during the 2-0 Europa League defeat to Liverpool on Thursday night.
The 23-year-old, who has been at United since he was eight, posted a short video to Instagram ahead of kick-off, showing him sitting with fans in the away section at Anfield.
He posted the caption "come on the boys #awaydays" as fans around him sang.
Also sitting with the away support were three of the club's biggest players of the 1990s - Gary Pallister, Dennis Irwin and Andrew Cole.
The trio won 16 Premier League titles between them, making more than 1,000 appearances under Sir Alex Ferguson who, of course, was also at the match.
However, the club legends all had to watch on as Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino gave bitter rivals Liverpool a commanding 2-0 lead heading into the second leg at Old Trafford next week.
Lingard, missing from the game because of suspension, is expected to return next week.
It's not the first time United players have sat with fans at Anfield this season, Michael Carrick, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo were in the away end when Wayne Rooney scored to give United a 1-0 win at the stadium in January.
