Michael Carrick Admits He Would Love to 'Have a Go' at Being an F1 Driver
Coaching and punditry seem to be the two usual retirement plans for high-profile footballers, but Manchester United's Michael Carrick has an even bigger dream.
The England midfielder has revealed he is obsessed with Formula One and says he would love to have a go at the sport
He told MUTV, per Simon Jones of the Daily Mail:

"I wouldn't swap football for anything... except maybe to be an F1 driver.
I'd love to have a go. I love the sport, I'm a massive fan. I've done a few track days and enjoyed that, but there's nothing like going to watch F1. I'm hooked on it.
"
Obviously, Carrick is not naive enough to think it is a realistic proposition, so the 34-year-old is instead focusing on prolonging his football career:
"Living right and trying to look after myself gives me a better chance (of playing on). I feel as good and as a fit as I ever have.
I'm not saying I can last as long as Giggsy (Ryan Giggs). Not many people, if anyone, can do what he did. But I tried to learn off Giggsy, Scholesy (Paul Scholes) and Gaz Nev (Gary Neville).
It's stuff in the gym, yoga, living right, eating right... it all comes together and hopefully gives you a chance of playing for that extra couple of years.
