Dimitar Berbatov and Darren Fletcher are among the other high-profile Reds poised to return to the hallowed turf against the Hoops – and tickets are still available for Saturday’s 14:00 BST kick-off.
All proceeds will go towards supporting the work of Manchester United Foundation – a cause Carrick feels particularly strongly about.
“Ever since I first got to United in 2006, Manchester United Foundation had a big impact on me and I was keen to help and do as much as I possibly could,” admits the Geordie.
“Over the years, we built a really good relationship with each other, so to be in the position now with my own Foundation where we work together, alongside each other, with Street Reds and in a generally ongoing relationship, is something that’s really nice to have and something that I don’t take for granted at all.
“A lot of good work goes on between us, so any part I can play in supporting the Foundation, the better. They do terrific work all around the world and, over the years, it has been a privilege to help in any way that I can.”
