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 manager Louis van Gaal is 'ready' to make a £40million move for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, according to reports.
With the club opting against signing Radamel Falcao on a permanent deal and Robin van Persie's future at the club not completely clear, The Sun have linked the club with a move for the Frenchman.
Benzema, 27, signed a new five-year deal at the club only last summer but with Carlo Ancelotti now gone, the paper reports that it is unclear how the striker now fits into the club's future plans.
Rafa Benitez, the heavy favourite for the job, is apparently ready to make Gareth Bale a central part of his plans.
Sir Alex Ferguson was long linked with a move for the former Lyon man, who has scored 133 goals in 281 matches for Real Madrid.
