David Beckham will not receive a wage after signing a five month contract with Paris St Germain, but will instead see his salary paid to a children's charity.
As the former England captain was unveiled by the French Ligue 1 club at a news conference, he described the 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.
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.
