Sport: The week in review
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 were left to concentrate on football's Premier League when Sheffield United knocked them out of the FA Cup on Sunday - despite a fine goal from Ryan Giggs. Jamie Hoyland and Glyn Hodges quickly replied for Sheffield.
One player who has been accused of failing to reproduce his club form for his country performed what may turn out to be his international swan-song at Wembley in Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against San Marino. John Barnes was fairly ordinary in England's 6-0 victory and cannot be certain of another chance to show his gifts.
But if it was his last game for England, the boos from the crowd whenever he touched the ball was a pathetic farewell. At least David Platt lived up to his billing, the Juventus player scoring four goals on his debut as captain.
