Midfielder Sulley Muntari believes his AC Milan side still have a lot of work to do despite making a bright start to their season.

The suspended Ghana player scored the second in Milan’s their 3-1 home win against Lazio.

But it looks he must double up his efforts with the arrivals of Bonaventura and Marco Van Ginkel before the transfer deadline day last week.

“Milan? The aim for the start of the season was to begin well. We still have lots of work to do. We don’t want to give anything up,” the 30-year-old said.

“I’m not interested in goals, I want to work for the team, this shirt and my team-mates. Goals and performances will then come as a consequence.

“The important thing is that in the end we all do well and we stay united like a family, even in the difficult times.

“However, I haven’t got any doubts. I’ve seen Fernando Torres, he seems a very calm guy.

“Bonaventura is a strong player and we have two players that we wanted, even van Ginkel. We want to welcome them like in a family.

“We’re doing what the coach wants, but it’s only the start and it’s not enough. We have to remain humble and focused.”

Milan will face Parma at Stadio Ennio Tardini in their second game of the season on 14 September.
