The unified product was defined in \cite{am3} related to the restricted extending structure problem for Hopf algebras: a Hopf algebra $E$ factorizes through a Hopf subalgebra $A$ and a subcoalgebra $H$ such that $1\in H$ if and only if $E$ is isomorphic to a unified product $A \ltimes H$. Using the concept of normality of a morphism of coalgebras in the sense of Andruskiewitsch and Devoto we prove an equivalent description for the unified product from the point of view of split morphisms of Hopf algebras. A Hopf algebra $E$ is isomorphic to a unified product $A \ltimes H$ if and only if there exists a morphism of Hopf algebras $i: A \rightarrow E$ which has a retraction $\pi: E \to A$ that is a normal left $A$-module coalgebra morphism. A necessary and sufficient condition for the canonical morphism $i : A \to A\ltimes H$ to be a split monomorphism of bialgebras is proved, i.e. a condition for the unified product $A\ltimes H$ to be isomorphic to a Radford biproduct $L \ast A$, for some bialgebra $L$ in the category $_{A}^{A}{\mathcal YD}$ of Yetter-Drinfel'd modules. As a consequence, we present a general method to construct unified products arising from an unitary not necessarily associative bialgebra $H$ that is a right $A$-module coalgebra and a unitary coalgebra map $\gamma : H \to A$ satisfying four compatibility conditions. Such an example is worked out in detail for a group $G$, a pointed right $G$-set $(X, \cdot, \lhd)$ and a map $\gamma : G \to X$.
