Graeme Souness insists Cristiano Ronaldo DOES make Manchester United title challengers because 'he's on another planet' and will help improve their star players who 'already think they're the real deal'

Graeme Souness believes the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United's attacking armoury makes them title contenders.

Ronaldo sensationally returned to the Red Devils on Friday night despite murmurings earlier in the day that he was set to move to arch-rivals Manchester City.

The 36-year-old isn't ready to face Wolves on Sunday afternoon as his signing is yet to be formally confirmed, but he is expected to make his second Old Trafford debut against Newcastle on Saturday, September 11, following the international break.

Graeme Souness thinks the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo by Manchester United is significant

'I see him making the difference for them,' Souness, Liverpool's former European Cup-winning captain, told Sky Sports ahead of United's trip to Molineux.
