We paid a huge amount of money to bring De Ligt in (not to mention an insane salary and probably a big fat commish to the Fat Man, so was it really that surprising that he chose us over the mess @ Manure and the Declining Power that is Barca?!

). Still, I'll give him credit for that.
As for Ronaldo, we paid a hefty fee for an ageing superstar and gave him a huge salary, so again no surprises there. Still, I'm going to give him partial credit here.
Nonetheless, are we better as a team now? Are we any close to winning the CL than we were in 2017? I fail to see it. Therefore, overall, his stint has been more miss than hit in my book.
