Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has accepted an apology from a Ghanaian MP after he apologized for publicly mocking him last year.
In 2022, Isaac Adongo criticized the vice president for the country’s poor economic performance. He also compared the vice-president’s economic management to Maguire’s poor performance on the field for Manchester United.
Adongo mocked former United captain Maguire and labeled him ‘the biggest threat in the heart of Manchester United’s defence’.
On Tuesday, Adongo publicly apologized to the England international for comments he made last year, hailing Maguire as a “transformative footballer” for overcoming last season’s difficulties.
He also launched another attack on the vice president, adding: “As for our Maguire, he is now at the IMF (International Monetary Fund) with a cup in his hand.”
Adongo said: “Mr. President, I now apologize to Harry Maguire. Today, Harry Maguire has turned the corner and is a transformational footballer.
“(Harry Maguire) is now a key player for Manchester, but as for our Maguire (Mr Bawumia), he is now wandering around the IMF with a cup in his hand,” the MP added.
Responding to a video of the apology on social media, the United defender wrote: “Apology from Deputy Issac Adongo accepted. See you at Old Trafford soon,” followed by emojis of a handshake and a smiley face.
Bawumia is the head of the Ghanaian government’s economic management team, which is facing the most serious economic crisis in recent years. The country took out a $3 billion (£2.4 billion) loan from the IMF and last year inflation in Ghana reached a record 54% but has since fallen to around 35%.
