"GHANA'S PARLIAMENT LAUGH AT HARRY MAGUIRE Flashback to when Ghanaian MP Isaac Adongo mocked his country’s finance minster, comparing him to Manchester United's clanger-prone defender Harry Maguire."

@ike_official1 added:

"Bolegatanga Central Constituency MP Isaac Adongo had been vindicated over a comment he made about England's Senior national team captain Harry Maguire that he is a threat to Man United Defence. Explaining if his opponents doesn't score you can trust Maguire of scoring for them"

@razer2500 tweeted:

"Isaac Adongo, MP said it oh"

@George78096709 posted:

"Ghana MP Isaac Adongo was right when he compared Manchester United defender Harry Maguire to Ghana Vice president Mahamudu Bawumia, who is being accused of mismanaging the Ghana's economy. He called him 'Economy Maguire'"

Adongo's comments about Marguire

At the time, Honourable Adongo spoke about Maguire 'tackling everybody and throwing his body everywhere' to peals of laughter from parliamentarians.

"Mr. Speaker, you remember in this country we also have an economic Maguire. We're clapping, saying this man is the best in managing foreign terms. 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. Our economic Maguire is taking control of the fundamentals of our economy and destroying all of them."

Adongo's Maguire comment upsets Rooney

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on former England captain, Wayne Rooney commenting on Adongo's Maguire comparison, calling it 'crazy'.

The Member of Parliament for the Bolgatanga Central Constituency went viral for saying Dr Bawumia was an 'economic Maguire'.

According to Adongo, Maguire has been poor since joining Manchester United despite showing promise during his time at Leicester City.
