Robin van Persie has admitted he may end his career at Manchester United.
The
29-year-old Holland striker says the fact United have a track record in
valuing older players such as Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes may persuade
him to see out his playing days at Old Trafford too.
Van Persie
told Dutch magazine Voetbal International: "For the next few years I
will be at Manchester United - and maybe longer. United could be my last
club."
The former Arsenal striker's current United contract will
end when he is 33 but with 39-year-old Giggs and Scholes, 38, for
inspiration, the striker may be tempted to extend his time at the club.
"You
have a number of clubs in Europe where older players can find it good,
where they are valued. You used to have that at Juventus and AC Milan,
Manchester United today is a good example. So who knows how long I will
stay at the club," he added."There is a new challenge for me
every day at United. My development is an ongoing process. That gets an
extra boost when you are surrounded by new coaches and team-mates, all
with their own ideas, in a totally new environment."
Van Persie
scored twice for Holland against Romania on Tuesday night to overtake
Johan Cruyff's international goal tally. Cruyff scored 33 goals in 48
appearances of a curtailed international career and van Persie is now on
34 goals from 74 caps.Van Persie is second in the Premier League
scoring charts this season with 19 goals, three behind Liverpool's Luis
Suarez, and United will be hoping his international form will see him
pick up domestically after a spell of just one goal in 10 matches for
the club.
