Robin van Persie shows he is still razor sharp at 39 in legends game, with Dutchman scoring twice before delivering pinpoint assist to Jack Wilshere and almost pulling off an outrageous bicycle kick

Robin van Persie, clearly, has still got it.

The former Manchester United and Arsenal star was renowned for his brilliant attacking skills and wonder goals across a stellar career.

And those skills were put to the test again in a legends game on Sunday, with Van Persie named in a World XI against a Rangers line-up at Ibrox.

The visitors triumphed 4-3 in a seven-goal thriller, with the 39-year-old to the fore, scoring twice - including the winner - and recording a superb assist.

And social media footage shows Van Persie nearly scored an unbelievable overhead kick to top it all off.
