Harry Maguire has been cruelly mocked in Ghana’s parliament during a debate on the country’s budget for next year.
The African nation’s economic policies have been compared to the England defender’s form for Manchester United since he joined them from Leicester City, with one MP laughing by caricaturing the 29-year-old as a player who tackled his teammates and scored own goals scored. .
Isaac Adongo, in line with the opposition National Democratic Congress party, has labeled Ghana’s Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia as the “economic maguire”.
Referring to the ongoing World Cup, on which Ghana beat South Korea 3-2 On Monday he said: “If you are a fan of football, and I was happy to see the jubilation recently when Ghana won. But there was a player in the United Kingdom, in England, named Maguire, who played for Manchester United.
Harry Maguire, he’s a defender. He tackled everyone and threw his body everywhere. And he was considered the best defender in the world. Manchester United went and bought him.
“He became the biggest threat in the center of the Manchester United defence, tackling Manchester players and providing assists to opponents. Mr Speaker, if even the opponents don’t score, Maguire will score for them.
‘Speaker, remember, in this country we also have an economic Maguire.
“Mr Speaker, when we gave this Maguire the chance to be at the center of our defence, he became the risk of our own goal.”
