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.Louis van Gaal is still likely to be without new signing Marcos Rojo for the match against MK Dons as he continues to work through a work permit issue.
The Argentine, who arrived at Old Trafford at the end of last week for £16m, missed the 1-1 draw with Sunderland on Sunday.
Rojo's work permit situation is not likely to be resolved before the Capital One Cup clash against MK Dons, leaving Van Gaal short of defensive options.
The Dutch coach saw Chris Smalling leave in the first half of the game at the Stadium of Light with a groin injury - the England defender will have an assessment ahead of Tuesday's game.
Michael Keane replaced Smalling and as United are still without Jonny Evans, Van Gaal could again be forced to play the inexperienced back three of Tyler Blackett, Keane and Phil Jones.
Jones is the most experienced of those three at 22, but he has only played 106 matches for Manchester United. Another defender, Rafael, has been back in training but may not be fit enough for first team duty.
Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera will also be assessed before kick-off.
