Man Utd's Maguire responds to Ghanian MP's apology after public mockery

Opposition MP Isaac Adongo had compared Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia's economic management to Maguire's poor performances on the pitch for Manchester United.

Manchester United centre-back Harry Maguire has responded to an apology from a Ghanaian MP who mocked him during a parliamentary debate on the budget last year.

Opposition MP Isaac Adongo had compared Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia's economic management to Maguire's poor performances on the pitch for Manchester United.

In an address in parliament that went viral on social media, Adongo compared Bawumia to Maguire, who he described as "the biggest threat at the centre of the Manchester United defence".

But earlier this week, Adongo said Maguire had "turned the corner".

The lawmaker took back his analogy and publicly apologised to the England international for the comments he made last year, praising Maguire as a 'transformational footballer' for overcoming his struggles of last season.

Maguire on Wednesday replied to a video on X, formerly Twitter, which showed Adongo's apology.

"MP Issac Adongo apology accepted. See you at Old Trafford soon," Maguire said.
