“We have got no option but to win something next year and that’s the Africa Cup of Nations title,” Muntari told MTNFootball.com
“It is not enough to say that we played well and got to an advanced stage of the competition.
“We did a great deal under the previous coach and achieved a lot. But it is time for us to win something if we are to show that we are really good.
