Isaac Adongo, a member of Ghana’s National Democratic Congress (NDC), had previously likened Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to “Economic Maguire” in December 2022, citing budgetary mismanagement by Bawumia’s New Patriotic Party.

Adongo also accused Maguire of aiding opponents on the field. However, Adongo has since retracted these statements, issuing an apology and acknowledging Maguire’s positive transformation, asserting that the footballer has significantly improved.

Addressing parliament, Adongo expressed regret for his earlier comparison of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to Harry Maguire, now acknowledging Maguire’s positive turnaround.

He highlighted Maguire’s progress as a pivotal player for Manchester United, citing the footballer’s goal-scoring prowess and crucial role within the team.

The past few months have marked a noteworthy period for the United defender. Previously sidelined under manager Erik ten Hag during Adongo’s initial remark, Maguire has recently played full 90-minute matches in United’s last five league fixtures.

However, uncertainties remain regarding his future role given the impending return of Luke Shaw from injury.

Additionally, with centre-back Lisandro Martinez set to be out until the new year, there’s speculation about potential changes in the defensive lineup, which might impact Maguire’s position, especially considering his potential departure from the club and the upcoming Euro 2024.
