Blackburn boss Paul Ince have previously played for the Italian giants.
“First of all I don’t consider the signing of Muntari as a fallback option,” Manicone told Tuttosport.
“Muntari is a midfielder who is capable of doing very well both offensively and defensively. He has great physical skills and a winning mentality.
“For his physical strength and impetuous, he reminds me of Ince, with whom I played with in the 1995/96 season.
“Did Paul score more goals? Yes, but on the advice of Mourinho, Sulley is now working on that side of his game. Scoring is not one of his main characteristics, but he will find it slowly but surely.”
