Fernandes is now United's top Premier League goalscorer this season with seven. His 12 in all competitions also puts him at the head of United's scoring charts. But it doesn't end there. In a United side that is 14th in the table, Fernandes has 14 goal involvements in the league. Unsurprisingly, that is more than anyone else. But only Amad has more than Marcus Rashford's five, which underlines how important the 30-year-old has been in keeping United away from getting in real trouble at the bottom of the table. Since he made his United debut in February 2020, only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (177) and Tottenham's Son Heung-min (124) have been involved in more goals than Fernandes (109). It is clear Amorim needs Fernandes in the short and medium term as he looks to improve results, while at the same time making United a more attractive team to watch. The home side had 31.8% possession against Arsenal, continuing a theme that has continued since Jose Mourinho's time at the club where their best results are achieved when they play on the counter-attack. On a day when United fans protested in huge numbers against the club's ownership, Amorim is desperate to change that. "When you coach Manchester United, you cannot play too much like that," he told Sky Sports. "You have to try to win the game. "This club will never die. That is clear. This is a big business and maybe all the fans in this league sometimes feel it us harder to go to the games and pay for tickets. "We want to give them a lot of effort. In the future, we will not play like that."
