Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has declared he'll give one per cent of his wages to football-based movement Common Goal, and has urged other players to join him in supporting the new initiative.
The Spain international announced he would make the gesture after a trip to the slums of Mumbai, where he spent time with disadvantaged children as part of one of the group's football schemes.
Mata said: "One of the first lessons I learned in football is that it takes a team to win a game.
“We live by this mantra on the pitch, yet we rarely see it play out in the social impact space, which is dominated by individual initiatives.
Through Common Goal we're creating a collaborative way for football to give back to society."
