Ghanaian politician Adong apologises to Man Utd defender Maguire

Manchester United star Harry Maguire has shown his gracious side this week.

The England centre half has accepted an apology from a Ghanaian politician about his performances.

Isaac Adong used Maguire in a sentence to criticize the policies of the opposition party.

He used the phrase “economic Maguire" to criticize rival policies, but has now admitted his error.

“If you remember last year I was very quick to compare [vice-president] Mahamudu Bawumia to Harry Maguire," he said in an official capacity.

“Mr Speaker, I now apologize [to] Harry Maguire."

“Mr Chairman, you got very angry when I used your defender as an example. Today Maguire has turned the corner, he's a transformational footballer. Harry Maguire is now scoring goals for Manchester United.

“Mr Speaker, Harry Maguire is now a key player for Manchester United, as for our Maguire, he is currently navigating the corridors of the IMF with a cup in hand.

“As for our Maguire, the economic Maguire, he was able to get pensioners to leave their homes and come and parade in the streets."
