I can't stand football but well done to him. I'm sure he earns enough anyway and this will be a tax write off but it doesn't matter......any donation is good

Yes, well done, it 's lovely to see a footballer giving his wages to charity,  but perhaps it would have been nice if he had joined a British Club and donated the money to a British Children's Charity.  Apparently he said he did not want to play in the Premier League as M.U. did not want him and he loved them so much he did not want to play against them, (I really don't think he would have got in the Premier League) but he could have joined a lower league which would have boosted the gate and brought publicity to the club, as it seems the wage did not bother him.   However, I  think Paris will suit Victoria for her Fashion Business.

No buts for me Jacqui - just a great gesture.

Lots of people on here, not least your goodself have helped children in a foreign land.

What's the difference.

And from a footballing point of view why on earth would a great footballer like David Beckham want to play in a lower league when it appears he had numerous offers from top clubs.
