The Manchester United striker says that he is motivated
by the example of veteran team-mate Ryan Giggs to prolong his career with the
Red Devils and Netherlands.
Manchester United striker Robin van Persie believes that
he has what it takes to play for another 10 years.
The Netherlands international, 30 years old, is confident
that next summer's World Cup in Brazil will not be his final major tournament
for Oranje.
"We want to do better over there then at the
European [Championships]," he told NUSport. "At least, I want that,
and after that I want to do it better again. That's how I am.
"The World Cup won't be my last big tournament. I've
never had a major injury, hardly any muscle problems. I will play for another
10 years."
The former Arsenal man cites the influence of Manchester
United team-mate Ryan Giggs as a source of motivation in prolonging his playing
career.
"Yes, serious, that's my goal when I feel myself
like I do now," he continued. "It's a drive for me when I see Ryan
Giggs train every day fantastic and play fantastic."
