Carrick to decide on United future next season

'I haven’t got an age in mind really, I need to just take it year by year. I said that last year, I said it the year before and I’ll say it again next year too', Carrick told Sky Sports when asked about his retirement.

'I’ve learnt a lot off of [Ryan Giggs] Giggsy and the likes of [Paul] Scholes and Gary Neville who went on to play until their late 30s. I’ve been lucky enough to see that close to waters and I’ve taken things from that and tried to learn from it'.

Carrick has made 479 league appearances, and there might be many more to come: 'It might take me as long as Giggsy, but I’m not too sure'.
