Robin van Persie is determined to play for Holland at the 2018 World Cup and intends to carry on until the age of 40.
The
Manchester United striker scored four goals to help his country to
third place at this summer's World Cup in Brazil and has already set his
sights on the next one in Russia, when he will be 35.
And
thinking beyond that, Van Persie is keen to stretch his playing career
for as long as possible despite suffering various injury problems over
the years.
Speaking about the next World Cup to Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant, Van Persie said: 'I will be 35 then and I will do everything to be there.
'I
live quietly, this saves a few years. My goal is to play at the highest
level for as long as possible and being available for the national team
is a part of that.
'I
am 31 now and I have a little less than nine years to go. I won't be
playing for a major club at the age of 40, although I do still want to
be playing professional football at that age. That's my goal.'
