Juan Mata's push for players to donate some of their wages to charity is picking up momentum.
Bayern Munich and Germany international defender Mats Hummels joined Mata's "Common Goal" project, which he started a couple of weeks ago. The Manchester United winger pledged to donate 1% of his wages to "high-impact football charities," and Hummels has followed suit.
“As soon as I heard of Common Goal I knew this was a chance for football to improve our world, and I wanted to be part of it,” Hummels said in a statement. “I feel we could be doing more to connect the increasing revenues in football to some kind of deeper purpose.
