However, in naming his best strikers of all time, he excluded his compatriot but added Arsenal legend Thierry Henry to his list.

"My best strikers of all time are [Samuel] Eto'o, Ibrahimovic and [Thierry] Henry," he told 3 Sports, as quoted by Ghana Soccernet.

Muntari went on to explain how good Ibrahimovic was and believed he should have won a Ballon d'Or.

He told 3 Sports:

“As a teammate Ibrahimovic wasn’t intimidating at all. He just wants the best out of you. He won games easily for whichever team I played. I managed to play with him during his early years in Inter during his first season then we met at Milan.

“Ibrahimovic is the top player, he's one of the best during his time. They didn't want to give him the Ballon d’Or because he speaks his mind," he said. Sometimes they don't like to hear that but Ibrahimovic is massive."
