LOS ANGELES - David Beckham said on Thursday that his desire to continue football's growth in the United States and his family's happiness prompted him to stay with the Los Angeles Galaxy.
In an interview with Google broadcast over YouTube, the former English captain explained his reasons for snubbing a rich offer from Paris St. Germain and signing a two-year deal to remain in Major League Soccer.
"At 36 years old, you don't expect to still get these offers. That was nice," Beckham said.
