Harry Maguire of Manchester United accepts an apology from Ghana MP Isaac Adongo.

Manchester United’s Harry Maguire graciously accepted a public apology from Ghanaian politician MP Isaac Adongo, who had previously delivered a harsh critique of the defender in parliament. Adongo’s witty comparison between Maguire’s on-field struggles and his criticism of Ghana’s vice-president, Mahamudu Bawumia’s economic performance, made headlines last December.

In a surprising turn of events, during a parliamentary debate on the 2024 budget in Ghana, Adongo formally apologized to Maguire. Reflecting on his earlier comparison, Adongo acknowledged Maguire’s transformation into a “key player” for Manchester United, now scoring goals and reaching new heights.

Maguire, known for his resilience on and off the pitch, responded to the apology on Twitter, saying, “MP Issac Adongo apology accepted. See you at Old Trafford soon.” The exchange adds a touch of humor and sportsmanship to a previously contentious situation.
