Former Ghana midfielder Derek Boateng has lauded Sulley Muntari for his heartfelt attitude during their time with the national team.

Muntari was touted the “bad boy” in the Black Stars team despite his massive contributions on the field.

It was believed the former Inter Milan and AC Milan star was always involved in undesirable actions in the Black Stars team with the famous being that of 2014 where the midfielder together with teammate Kevin-Prince Boateng was sacked from camp for what was described as a disruptive behavior.

Despite the negative thoughts about the ex-Sunderland midfielder, Boateng claims his former teammate has been the most sincere player he ever came into contact with.

“Sulley Ali Muntari is the most sincere Black stars player I worked with, he always wanted the best for his colleagues,” Boateng spoke to Starr FM.

“He resisted a move by Black Stars officials to place local players in the economy class and foreign players in business class.”

At age 35, Muntari is yet to announce his retirement from the National team despite failing to make an appearance since 2014.
