A Ghanaian MP mocked England footballer Harry Maguire during a debate in the country’s parliament on November 29, comparing his recent struggles with Manchester United to the economic performance of government.

Isaac Adongo, MP for Bolgatanga Central, compared the country’s vice president, Mahamudu Bawumia, to Maguire, accusing the former of scoring own goals against Ghana.

“[Maguire] became the biggest threat at the center of Manchester United’s defense. Tackling Manchester players and giving assists to opponents,” Adongo says as fellow MPs laugh along.

“Mr Speaker when the opponents fail to score, Maguire would score for them. Mr Speaker, you remember in this country we also have an economic Maguire,” Adongo adds.

“Mr Speaker, when we give this economic Maguire the opportunity to be at the center of our defense, he became the risk of our own goal,” Adongo continued.

Maguire has received criticism after a loss of form for Manchester United over the past two years. However, he has been praised for his performances at the center of England’s defense at the World Cup. Credit: Parliament of Ghana via Storyful
