Under Amorim, Fernandes was often deployed deeper in midfield, limiting his attacking influence.
The Portuguese playmaker was tasked with build-up duties rather than creating chances closer to goal, reports Manchester evening news.
Since returning to a number 10 role, Fernandes has produced outstanding numbers, including nine assists in his last 10 league matches.
His creativity has made him one of the most influential players in England this season.
He recently surpassed David Beckham’s assist record at the club and is closing in on the Premier League’s all-time single-season mark held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
