Muntari dubs AC Milan keeper Abbiati 'the Uncle'

Sulley Muntari has dubbed AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati "the Uncle".

The 37 year-old has played a big part in Milan's revival this season.

Muntari smiled: "'The Uncle' is a symbol to me and he helps me both on and off the pitch. He doesn't talk much, but he's got a great attitude.

"There aren't many men like him. When I speak to him, he really gives me great energy.

"And the same applies to Coach Pippo Inzaghi who is helping us a lot and we're doing really well also thanks to him."
