Harry Maguire has accepted an apology from Ghana MP Isaac Adongo for his strange criticism of the Manchester United defender last year.
During a parliamentary session, Adongo had compared Maguire to Ghana’s vice-president Mahamudu Bawumia, saying that he was ‘the biggest threat at the centre of Manchester United’s defence’, and that he was ‘tackling his own players and giving assists to opponents’.
Adongo has now apologised for these comments, describing Maguire as a ‘transformational footballer’. Maguire responded to the clip on Twitter, writing ‘MP Issac Adongo apology accepted. See you at Old Trafford soon.’
It has been a tumultuous year for the former United captain, who lost his place in the team and was then stripped of the captaincy in the summer. He was strongly linked with a move to West Ham United, but the move was never agreed.
This season, Maguire has forced his way back into the team, enjoying a revival in form despite problems elsewhere in the side. He has been preferred to World Cup winner Raphael Varane in recent weeks, and is expected to keep his place in the side when the Premier League resumes this weekend.
Maguire’s Manchester United are in action away to Everton, and the defender will be looking to put last year’s strange criticism firmly in the past.
