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.Manchester United released quarterly results yesterday that showed the club's revenues dropped in the three months ending 31 March by £4.4m, to £70.8m compared to £75.2m in 2011. That drop would have been greater had there not been increased sponsorship income of £3.5m.
The figures also showed that United spent £71m on a buyback of bonds and on interest payments over the past nine months. The club's net debt has risen by £26m.
The former England striker Michael Owen said yesterday that United had not offered him a new contract, after three injury-hit years at the club.
Owen said: "At 32, I owe it to myself to have two or three years and play a bit more – but for somebody else."
