Former England captain David Beckham completed his move to Paris St Germain today and said he had to turn down offers from England because he could not bear to face Manchester United.
Beckham, 37, revealed he will play without a salary at PSG, instead donating what he would have earned to a children's charity in Paris.
He has signed a five-month contract and confirmed the presence of Carlo Ancelotti and Leonardo, the head coach and sporting director, had persuaded him to join the wealthy French giants.
