Ghana Star Player Aims for Manchester United

So far, Ghana did not prove to be a raising force in the soccer world, and their World Cup performance was weak. Their opening match lead to a 0-2 defeat to Italy, and things are not looking good for their World Cup future. None of the above interferes with Ghana`s star Sulley Muntari`s plans of making it big in the England league.

The star player has issued a `come and get me` plea to the Premiership naming Manchester United at the top of his wish list. Muntari is 21 years old and have already played for Old Trafford outfit as a teenager. The young player also played for the Italian league and hopes to join the ranks of the England league in the next season.

Although Ghana isn`t regarded as a soccer powerhouse, Muntari is considered to be one of the best young players in Africa and many teams will answer his `come and get me` plea. Manchester United is currently looking for a midfield player and that is exactly the poison Muntari plays.
