Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Real Tamale United’s quest for survival has been boosted by the inclusion of a former Ghana Premier League winner, Shafiq Muntari, to their squad.<\/p>\n

The former Wa All Stars midfielder joined the Northern Blues in the second round of the Ghana Premier League and has since been an important member of the team.<\/p>\n

His enormous experience has been a key factor in RTU’s resurgence in the past two months, having featured for Ashantigold and BA United in the past.<\/p>\n

Muntari before joining Real Tamale United spent time in the United Arab Emirates, playing for Aldar Football Club.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old is keen on helping the club survive the drop as their quest for sustaining their Premier League status continues.<\/p>\n

“I joined the club not too long ago and ofcourse it’s been challenging for us, knowing very well we just returned to the topflight after a long absence,” he said.<\/p>\n

“First and foremost, my goal is to help RTU survive, after giving me the opportunity to do what I love best, which is playing football.”<\/p>\n

Muntari is technical gifted and has great passing range. Apart from creating chances for his attackers to score, he is also a good finisher.<\/p>\n

Even though, he’s been in the league for few months, Muntari has already started attracting interest both domestically and abroad.<\/p>\n

However, the Tamale-based club will not let their newly found jewel juts leave yet as he remains an important component of the team.<\/p>\n
