Legendary Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muntari has shared his experience playing in the domestic topflight league with Hearts of Oak.

The 37-year-old spent six months with the Accra-based club, winning the President Cup and the FA Cup.

His decision to play in the Ghana Premier League was because his son wanted to watch him play, but Jamal Muntari quit going to the stadium after two games because his father could not score goals.

"I came into the league last season and I wanted to help them with the experience I gathered playing in Europe," he told Dan Kwaku Yeboah TV on YouTube.

"And the main reason why I returned was my son wanted to watch me play, but after two games and I did not score, he said he won't come again," he added.

"I really had a good time with Hearts of Oak and it was really good."

Muntari is currently unattached and has been linked with rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko.

"I don't want to play in abroad anymore," he answered after being asked about returning to Europe.

"The only thing is I wanted to help the domestic league to be strong."
