'I'm not saying I'm going to be playing in 15-20 years but to be part of something like this is very exciting. I'm very excited and honoured to be here.'
Asked why he signed for PSG and not another British team, David, who has played for teams including Manchester United, said: 'I've always said I would never want to play for another English club. Manchester United is the team I support and it's the team I always have supported.
'I've always said I don't want to play for a team unless it's Manchester United. I've had 13 or 14 championship trophies throughout my career, and I've played with some of the biggest and best clubs in the world.
'I'm 37 and I'm still fit, I can run around and play like I did when I was 21. I haven't lost pace because I never really had a lot of pace.'
Staying put: David also revealed that his wife and four children would not be moving to France
The father-of-four was also asked why he had decided on a five-month contract instead of something more long-term.
He said: 'I don't see that it's a short term project it might be a short term project for me playing but there's a lot happening in this club with these owners. Whatever club I've gone to and whatever team Ive played for, I've worked hard.
'I don't expect to come into this team and play every game - I need to work hard. I don't automatically expect a place in the starting eleven. I might have only signed a contract until the end of the season but I consider myself to be part of helping this club to grow, help the French league to grow and become one of the biggest powerhouses in football.'
Bonjour! David smiled widely as he was pictured leaving his medical examination ahead of the press conference
David also revealed that another reason he signed with PSG was because he wanted to take on a new challenge.
He said: 'Obviously I've played in Europe for a number of years and every time I've come up against a French team it's been the most difficult games. At Real Madrid, the games we played in Lyon and Marseille were some of the toughest.
'The French league is full of talented players and teams. There's a lot of talent here and it's a difficult league. I've always loved a challenge whatever the league, whatever the club and whatever the culture.'
And the footballer also said he is hoping that the contract with Paris St Germain won't be his last.
