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.Mats Hummels has denied that he has made a "promise" to join Manchester United in the summer.
Reports this week claimed that the £35m-rated Borussia Dortmund defender, reportedly Louis van Gaal's No 1 summer target, had given his word to Sir Alex Ferguson that he would join the Old Trafford club at the end of the season.
The 26-year-old, however, has since tweeted on his position.
"To clarify it: this supposed 'promise' is simply fictitious and that's the friendly formation," he wrote.
Dortmund captain Hummels has come in for much criticism this season, with the Jurgen Klopp's side struggling in 10th place in the Bundesliga.
Hummels was an integral part of the Germany side which won the World Cup in Brazil this summer, appearing in six of the seven matches in the centre of defence.
