Working with a ghost writer, The Times journalist Henry Winter, Carrick has retraced his early days in the North East, his time in London with West Ham United and Tottenham and, of course, his long, successful stay with Manchester United.

“As my career went on, writing my autobiography was something that I had in mind,” Carrick told United Review, the official matchday programme.
