I think it is deserved to be honest. Ronaldo was more amazing at Real but he still propably one of the best player to have player in the Premier League, at least, in recent history.

Cristiano Ronaldo named best Premier League transfer of all-time
Cristiano Ronaldo’s £12m transfer to Manchester United in 2003 has been voted the greatest Premier League transfer of all-time by Sky Sports.
The Portuguese superstar was only 18 when he left Sporting for Old Trafford to develop under the incredible guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson.
