Mount, 24, swapped Stamford Bridge for Old Trafford earlier in the summer in a deal worth £60m.
The England international was closing in on 200 appearances for Chelsea when he completed a move to Manchester to become Erik ten Hag’s first signing of the summer.
Mount won the Champions League with Chelsea and will hope to lift more silverware at United after signing a five-year contract at the Theatre of Dreams.
The midfielder is currently on United’s pre-season tour and has already been impressing his new teammates in training.
Manchester United defender Alvaro Fernandez, who is also on the pre-season tour after spending last season on loan at Preston, said: ‘Mason has surprised me because he was not a player that stood out to me before when watching matches.
‘But in training, you can see the quality, the technique and the ability that he has. He is very good.’
Speaking to Spanish outlet AS, the former Real Madrid academy star added: ‘The coach is changing the team. New signings have arrived and the squad now has a new lease of life.
‘Mason is a really great player, but on the pitch, he has an incredible character. And then there is Lisandro Martinez, who arrived last summer and has a level of aggression that seems crazy.’
Manchester United enjoyed an encouraging first season under Ten Hag, finishing third in the Premier League and winning the League Cup.
Following his arrival at Old Trafford, Mount said: ‘It’s never easy leaving the club where you grew up, but Manchester United will provide an exciting new challenge for the next phase of my career.
‘Having competed against them, I know just how strong a squad it is that I’m joining, and I can’t wait to be part of this group’s drive to win major trophies.
‘Everyone can see that the club has made big steps forward under Erik ten Hag. Having met with the manager and discussed his plans, I couldn’t be more excited for the seasons ahead, and am ready for the hard work expected here.
‘I am hugely ambitious. I know how amazing it feels to win major trophies and what it takes to do it. I will be giving everything to experience that again at Manchester United.’
