Bizarre moment Ghanian politician references Harry Maguire in economic speech

Bizarre footage has circulated from the Ghanian parliament showing a politician referencing Harry Maguire in speech discrediting his political rival's economic budget.

Standing up to start his retort, Isaac Adango begins by praising the national side for their victory over South Korea earlier in the week before going on an extraordinary rant using Maguire as his main reference point.

Addressing the country's national assembly, Adango said Ghana's vice-president Mahamudu Bawumia enjoyed scoring - political - own goals in much the same manner as the Manchester United and England defender.

In an extraordinary attack that may come as a bit of a shock to the defender, who has been one of England's standout performers at this World Cup despite coming into it, the politician left the room in hysterics.

'If you are a fan of football, and I am happy to see you the other day, jubilating when Ghana won. But there is a player like you in the United Kingdom in England called Maguire that is playing for Manchester United.

'Harry Maguire. He is a defender. He was tackling and throwing his body everywhere like he was the best defender in the world.

'Manchester United went and bought him. He became the biggest threat at the centre of Manchester United's defence, tackling his own players and giving assists to opponents.

'Even when the opponents failed to score, Maguire would score for them.'

He continued: 'Mr Speaker, you will remember in this country we also have an economic Maguire.

'In this country we have an economic Maguire. The same economic Maguire was giving lectures at university on how to restore the value of the city.

'Mr Speaker why did we give this Maguire the chance to be at the centre of our defence. He became the rest of our own goal.'
