Is Cristiano Ronaldo the cause of or the solution to Manchester United's problems? It's a question that is never far from the lips of those around Old Trafford.
Ronaldo's brilliant hat-trick - a first-half tap-in, a trademark towering header and a 20-yard free-kick - secured a 3-2 win at home to Norwich on Saturday to maintain their hopes of a place in next season's Champions League.
His efforts moved the Portuguese on to 99 career Premier League goals and into joint-third spot in this season's Premier League top scorer standings, with 15.
It is the 16th season in a row that Ronaldo has scored 20 or more club goals in all competitions, it was his 60th career treble, and he has scored 12 more goals than any other United player this season.
