At 35-years-old, Carrick could be set to leave Old Trafford after 11 years of service, after he joined the club from Tottenham Hotspur in 2006.
He has been rewarded with a testimonial on Sunday, June 4 which could be the last time he dons a United shirt.
Asked by Sky Sports where he could be playing in the future, he said: “It won’t be anywhere else in England (next season), no, I’ve had too many good times here to do that elsewhere.
