Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has accepted an apology from a Ghanaian MP who mocked him.<\/p>\n

“See you at Old Trafford soon,” the defender wrote on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

MP Isaac Adongo had been debating the budget last year when he compared Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia’s economic management to Maguire’s performances on the pitch.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Adongo said he wanted to correct the record and hailed Maguire as a “transformational footballer”.<\/p>\n

He was a “key player” for Manchester United, Adongo said during a budget debate.<\/p>\n

But he did not let up in his criticism of Vice-President Bawumia.<\/p>\n

“As for our Maguire, he is now at the IMF, with a cup in hand,” he added.<\/p>\n

Bawumia is the head of the government’s economic management team as Ghana faces its most severe economic crisis in years.<\/p>\n

As government debt has soared, the country had to take a $3bn (\u00a32.4bn) loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).<\/p>\n

In December 2022 inflation in Ghana reached a record 54% but has since fallen to around 35%.<\/p>\n

A year ago Adongo compared Mr Bawumia to Harry Maguire, who Mr Adongo said “became the biggest threat at the centre of the Manchester United defence”.<\/p>\n

The video of the speech was widely shared on social media.<\/p>\n

It came amid a torrent of criticism of the footballer.<\/p>\n

England manager Gareth Southgate has condemned the mockery as “ridiculous treatment” and said he’s been “an absolute stalwart” for the team.<\/p>\n

Maguire’s mother also defended her son and said the abuse he had faced was “disgraceful” and “unacceptable”.<\/p>\n
