Cristiano Ronaldo: Are Man Utd being helped or hindered by Portugal legend?

Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United this summer caused so much excitement among fans - and he has already scored a few important goals - but is the side actually better off without him?

In one of the Premier League's highest-profile signings, the prodigal son, now 36, returned from Juventus this summer - just days after it looked as if he was going to join rivals Manchester City.

But after netting four goals in his first three games, he has only scored two in his next six - although they have both been late Champions League winners - against Villarreal and Atalanta.
