The 30-year-old footballer gave a nod to his native Netherlands as he wore a pair of shorts in the same colour as his home nation’s shirts.

The footballer has been making the most of his post-World Cup break after starring in the tournament for Holland.
The star striker revealed after the World Cup campaign, in which he scored four goals and helped his country to a third-place finish, that he was in need of a break before returning to pre-season training with Manchester United.
Fortunately for the forward, the footballer’s Holland manager, Louis Van Gaal, is also his new Manchester United boss so he was only too happy to oblige after Robin played 548 minutes in the tournament.
