Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has accepted an apology from a Ghanaian MP who mocked him.
"See you at Old Trafford soon," the defender wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
MP Isaac Adongo had been debating the budget last year when he compared Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia's economic management to Maguire's performances on the pitch.
On Tuesday, Adongo said he wanted to correct the record and hailed Maguire as a "transformational footballer".
He was a "key player" for Manchester United, Adongo said during a budget debate.
But he did not let up in his criticism of Vice-President Bawumia.
"As for our Maguire, he is now at the IMF, with a cup in hand," he added.
Bawumia is the head of the government's economic management team as Ghana faces its most severe economic crisis in years.
As government debt has soared, the country had to take a $3bn (£2.4bn) loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
In December 2022 inflation in Ghana reached a record 54% but has since fallen to around 35%.
A year ago Adongo compared Mr Bawumia to Harry Maguire, who Mr Adongo said "became the biggest threat at the centre of the Manchester United defence".
The video of the speech was widely shared on social media.
It came amid a torrent of criticism of the footballer.
England manager Gareth Southgate has condemned the mockery as "ridiculous treatment" and said he's been "an absolute stalwart" for the team.
Maguire's mother also defended her son and said the abuse he had faced was "disgraceful" and "unacceptable".
