He also played with German-born midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
However, in an interview with Tv3, the 40-year-old was asked to rank his favourite five Ghana midfielder.
Muntari named Appiah as the best, placing him at the top spot before naming Essien as his second favourite. The 2010 UEFA Champions League winner had placed himself fifth before ex-teammate Anthony Annan was named, forcing him to reverse that decision.
He finally selected Laryea Kingston for the third spot.
The former Portsmouth player retired in 2022 after last playing for Ghana Premier League giants Hearts of Oak.
Muntari enjoyed an illustrious football career, winning several titles including the English FA and the Serie, per Transfermarkt.
He was part of the historic Inter Milan team that won an unprecedented treble under Portuguese gaffer Jose Mourinho.

Muntari had returned to Ghana a few years ago and decided to play for Hearts of Oak before making the decision to retire. He played half-a-season with the Phobians, helping them win the President Cup.
According to Muntari, his last dance was for his son, who had never seen him play.
"I just did a few months with the local side [Hearts of Oak]. My son wanted me to play. I didn’t play for almost three years, then my son decided to ask me to go and play. I did that, but now I’m done,” Muntari said to Sky Sports.
Muntari played 80 times for the Black Stars and scored 20 goals.
In his club career, Muntari, who featured for Liberty Professional, played for Udinese, Prtsmouth, Inter Milan, Sunderland, AC Milan, Al-Ittihad, Pescara, Deportivo La Coruna and Albacete Balompie.
