Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has insisted he has no plans to retire from the game just yet.
The Dutchman has been a regular between the sticks for the Red Devils since signing from Fulham in 2005 and has notched up 153 Premier League starts for the club.
Van der Sar, 40, signed a one-year extension to his contract in February and is the club's oldest post-war footballer.
But the veteran says he still has the motivation and hunger to play and is planning on helping his team regain their Premier League crown from Chelsea this season.
"I have been hearing these questions for the last three or four years. Sometimes you surprise yourself also. It is a great club to be at," Van der Sar told Press Association Sport.

"I have been hearing these questions for the last three or four years. Sometimes you surprise yourself also. It is a great club to be at," Van der Sar told Press Association Sport.
"You play in the Premier League, the Champions League, you have a chance of winning titles and trophies and competing against the best players in the league.
"It is something that is too good not to do it any more. I still very much enjoy it. Even my age it is still a pleasure to put in all the hard work so you are in the starting XI on a Saturday and a Tuesday night.
"We have a great mix of some senior players and a whole crop of younger players coming through."United emphasise they are a club that produces young players. I can see some who will be here for a long time."

Alex Fisher reports from the Reebok Stadium: “It's been a lively start here at the Reebok (I told you it would be!) with both teams looking confident going forward but they have both lacked that little bit of quality in front of goal. Wigan's passing and movement has been much better than their hosts but David Wheater has had the game’s best chance, heading a Martin Petrov corner over the bar. Roberto Martinez has ordered his side to play in a 3-4-2-1 formation which reverts to a 5-4-1 in defensive situations!”

Arthur on Twitter: “Why, oh why, does Boas continue to play Bosingwa? He does literally NOTHING every game. Detrimental to the squad and the spirit.”
