Paul Merson labels Cristiano Ronaldo 'a bad signing' for Manchester United

Arsenal legend Paul Merson has had his say on whether he believes Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United has been a success.

Ronaldo, 37, made the move back to Old Trafford last summer after the club payed Juventus €15million (£12.9m) for his services.

The talismanic Portugal captain netted a hat-trick as his side defeated Norwich 3-2 at home over the weekend as they maintained their hopes of a place in next season's Champions League.

A first-half tap-in, a trademark towering header and a 20-yard free-kick helped Ralf Rangnick's men to secure the three points.
