Robin van Persie vows to keep playing professional football till age 40

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.'
