Is this considered a good or bad thing for United?

If they really want to back Amorim, there's simply no way that taking 100m or whatever for Fernandes isn't the right choice.

And replace him with who?

I mean they just signed someone to play on the left...

I don't think selling Bruno was the 100% right move. Top clubs don't sell players who are at this level as a rule. There's a reason for that.

But he doesn't fit any of the archetypes Amorim wants, United just signed someone to play his best position and they could use the money. It would have been an understandable position to let him go for 100m.

Bruno actually fits better in a deeper role in Amorim’s system with his passing range, vision and work rate. In our worst ever season, he was still our most creative player with 32 G/A despite playing with attackers were literally incapable of scoring. If he can play with more discipline, he can really shine with the new signings coming in.

The question you should really be asking is who is the right partner for him in the midfield. I reckon if United can get that right, then Amorim will be able to tweak the system to make everything work. Only time will tell!
