In a bizarre exchange between politicians in Ghana’s Parliament, Harry Maguire became a topic of conversation.
Ghanaian MP Isaac Adongo slammed his political opponent Dr Mahamadu Bawumia for his questionable ecumenic policies, labelling him the country’s ‘Economic Maguire’.
The mention of Maguire brought laughter from those present for the discussion.
As quoted by GhanaWeb, Adongo said: “There was a player in the United Kingdom in England called Maguire who is playing for Manchester United. Harry Maguire, is a defender.
“He became the biggest threat at Manchester United’s defence, tackling Manchester United players, and giving assists to opponents.
“Mr Speaker, even when the opponents failed to score, Maguire would score for them.
“Mr Speaker you remember this country we also have an economic Maguire.
“Mr Speaker, when we gave this Maguire the opportunity to be at the centre of our defence, he became the risk of our own goal.”

The sad thing about this is Harry Maguire has performed well at the World Cup, yet he is still being painted as a joke across the world. It’s a time he could be praised rather than joked about.
The last thing he would have expected was to be brought up during a speech parliament level in Ghana.
No no way. I think that’s character assasination and hope the footballer shd take to court for a solution. That’s boxing below the belt
