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 and England captain Wayne Rooney says he would consider following in the footsteps of former England team-mates and play in the US.
Rooney, 29, is currently in Seattle at the club's training base ahead of their four-match tour of the States that will begin against Club America on Saturday.
But when asked whether he would consider a move to Major League Soccer the striker said he would consider it.
“I’m obviously concentrating on Manchester United,” Rooney, who is under contract until at least 2019, told the Seattle Times.
Rooney has seen a number of former Premier League stars move across the pond after David Beckham blazed a trail after joining the LA Galaxy in 2007.
“When that time comes, that’ll be something I’d think about. (I’ll) sit down with my wife and children and decide if it would be right for me.”
