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.

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Wayne Rooney is a doubt for Manchester United's Champions League semi-final second leg with Schalke at Old Trafford tomorrow.

Ferguson reported Rooney has "a tight hamstring" and the forward will be monitored before the United boss finalises his line-up.

Darren Fletcher will play some part after recovering from the virus that has kept him out for a month, although, with his side two goals up from the first-leg, Ferguson will have Sunday's Premier League showdown with Chelsea in his mind when he makes his selection.

Team (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Lindegaard, Rafael, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Smalling, Evans, Brown, Evra, Valencia, Scholes, Anderson, Carrick, Fletcher, Gibson, Park, Giggs, Nani, Obertan, Rooney, Berbatov, Owen, Hernandez.
