As the former England captain was unveiled by the French Ligue 1 club at a news conference, he described the five-month deal as “unique”.

“I won’t receive any salary – we have decided my salary will go towards a local children’s charity in Paris and that is one of the things we are very excited and proud to do,” he said.

It was not immediately clear how much the as yet unidentified charity would receive, but Beckham said it would be a “huge sum”.

While he was in Los Angeles he had two stints on loan with Italian giants AC Milan.

Beckham said Carlo Ancelotti, who was in charge of Milan during Beckham’s time there and is now manager at PSG, was one of the reasons he had been lured to the French capital.

“Carlo is one of the best managers I have played for. So It is exciting on a number of levels,” he explained.

He added that he chose not to return to the Premier League because he would not play for any English club other than Manchester United.

Good luck taking the free kicks off Ibra David !
