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.In case you didn't know, it's Manchester United kit day today, the day when the club asks their supporters from all over the world to send in pictures of them wearing the shirt.
While many of the pictures were of fans going to work in their Red Devils attire, one Indonesian supporter, whose Twitter feed is full of images of him wearing United shirts, took the club's request to the very word - and posted this picture from his father's funeral. And as it was a funeral, the fan suitably wore black - United's black away shirt from the 1994/95 season to be precise.
United are yet to retweet the emotional picture, although other fan groups from the club have picked up on it, labelling it as "inspirational".
And some more treats from #MUFCkitday:
The Old Trafford club's message:
United are currently over in America at the moment, as they prepare for the new season under Louis van Gaal.
