Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari said on Wednesday he never had any problems with AC Milan, a month after leaving the Italian side to join Saudi Arabia's Ittihad.

Muntari's mitigated three-year spell with AC Milan was ended by mutual consent at the end of last month.

“Milan was like a big family,” Muntari told a news conference, according to Ghanasoccernet.

 “Nothing happened with [Coach Filippo] Inzaghi, and I don’t want to talk about the past, I’m thinking about the future.

“Honestly, that’s all there is to say. I always want to win, with Inzaghi that didn’t happen, but never mind. I never had problems with Milan, they’ll be in my heart until the day I die."

Ghanaian international Muntari joined the Rossoneri on a permanent basis in 2012 following a loan spell while he was a registered player with city rivals Inter Milan.

However the 30-year-old midfielder fell out of favour at the fallen Serie A giants last season, especially when Inzaghi replaced Clarence Seedorf as coach of the seven-time European champions.

Muntari made only 16 league appearances, scoring twice, as the Rossoneri headed for a mid-table finish that ruled them out of Europe next season.

"I’m a fan, and I always will be, nothing has broken. [CEO Adriano] Galliani has always been honest with me, I couldn’t get into a fight with Milan," Muntari added.
