Harry Maguire has been mocked by a Ghanaian MP who unfavourably in contrast the nation’s vp to the England and Manchester United star.
During a debate in Ghana’s parliament, Issac Adongo branded Dr Mahamudu Bawumia an “economic Maguire”, likening his efficiency to the defender’s decline since he moved to Old Trafford.
MPs roared with laughter on the sudden footballing analogy as Mr Adongo accused Dr Bawumia of scoring repeated financial “own goals”.
Mr Adongo advised the parliament that earlier than shifting to Manchester United, Maguire “was tackling everybody and throwing his body everywhere… he was seen as the best defender in the world.”
But after his £80m switch to Old Trafford, Maguire “became the biggest threat at the centre of the Manchester United defence”.
“[He was] tackling Manchester players and giving assists to opponents. Mr Speaker, when you see the opponents go to score, Maguire will score for them,” Mr Adongo stated.
“Mr Speaker,” he continued, “you keep in mind on this nation we even have an financial Maguire. This financial Maguire, we’re clapping saying this man is the perfect in managing international phrases.
“The same economic Maguire was at Central University delivering lectures on how to restore the value of the Cedi (Ghana’s currency). Mr Speaker why we gave this Maguire the opportunity to be at the centre of our defence, he became the rest of our own goals.”
Running by way of a sequence of dire financial figures, Mr Adongo stated Ghana’s “biggest issue” is that “we pay the appearance fee for this Maguire”.
The soccer analogies continued within the parliament when one other member warned towards voting the previous president again into energy by evaluating it to Chelsea’s determination to deliver again Romelu Lukaku.
Alex Tetteh Djornobuah MP advised members it could be higher to “maintain Maguire” moderately than deliver again a participant they now know to be “the worst striker in the whole world”.
Ghana face off towards Uruguay of their final World Cup group sport on Friday in a re-run of the controversial quarter-final match in 2010, when Luis Suarez punched a sure objective off the road.
The former Liverpool ace has refused to apologise for the incident forward of the sport, saying: “I don’t apologise about that. I take the handball – but the Ghana player missed a penalty, not me. It’s not my fault.”
