Chelsea agreed a £60million fee with the Red Devils for Mount, who is now nearing the end of his third season at Old Trafford following his departure from Stamford Bridge.
However, Mount’s time as a United player has been hindered by multiple injuries that have restricted the Cobham academy graduate to just 69 appearances across almost three seasons.
Chelsea decided to cash in on Mount after a new contract could not be agreed with the midfielder, having enjoyed his breakthrough campaign with the Blues under manager Frank Lampard, where Morris was assistant in the dugout.

Morris has now expressed his wish to see Mount put the injury woes behind him, and why he did not like the way the playmaker’s career at Chelsea came to an end.
“The only thing I want for Mason is for him to stay injury-free,” Morris told FindSisterSites. “It’s been such a stop-start time for Mase at Manchester United that I haven't even started thinking about getting the best out of him yet.
“I think when Mace stays injury-free, managers will play him and he’ll be involved.
“Whether that is to be at Manchester United or not, who knows? Sometimes when you've been at a place for so long and it has been so stop-start, a fresh start can be what's needed. But sometimes that fresh start can be a new season or a new manager.
“The way things ended at Chelsea and the way some of the fans reacted, even at the weekend [vs Man United when he came on as a sub, I hate to see it.

“I said that when I was doing the commentary for Chelsea. I hate to see it because the lad, I think, was treated poorly by the club.
“You’re talking about a lad that finished second to [Mateo] Kovacic in his first season as a Chelsea first-team player for Player of the Year, and then he won the Player of the Year two years on the bounce.

“Look at Chelsea's history, there are hardly any players that have won the Chelsea Player of the Year two years on the bounce, and he did it for the club while winning the Champions League and being the best player while we won the Champions League.”
Morris added: ”My only wish for Mason at the moment is that he can stay injury-free because he's a great lad and he's a top player when he's fit.”
