Adongo was debating the budget when he compared Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia's economic management to Maguire's performances on the pitch.
About a year back, Adongo claimed Maguire had "become the biggest threat at the centre of the Manchester United defence".
But on Tuesday, Adongo said he wanted to correct the record and hailed Maguire as a "transformational footballer".
He is a "key player" for Manchester United, Adongo said during a budget debate.
Meanwhile, 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), as per BBC.
In December 2022, inflation in Ghana reached a record 54% but has since fallen to around 35%, juxtaposing it to Maguire's transformation.
