Carrick has a brother, named Graeme.

Four years younger than Michael, Graeme also played for West Ham, but several severe injuries curtailed the prospect of a professional football career.

Nevertheless, he became an FA Regional Coach Mentor (North East & Yorkshire) and was coaching the Under-10 and Under-16 age groups at Newcastle United.

Graeme also played in his elder sibling’s testimonial at Old Trafford back in June, replacing former defender Wes Brown in the Manchester United 2008 XI in the second-half.
