You will need to bait out Morgana’s E before you try to fight her. You can either drain it by using your W, or you can just catch her off-guard from out of vision and E her.
Her clears are extremely fast, so you will want to make sure that the river is wholly warded. Else, she will invade and destroy you.
Once you get your Ultimate you should focus on making many plays from outside vision. Use your effigies and ask your team to help you deward the lane you’re about to gank.

When looking to secure marks, ask one of your teammates to accompany you. It will make life easier for you, especially if that laner has priority in his/her lane.

You will want to gank as much as you can during the early game but make sure you keep an eye out on Morgana’s whereabouts. She can easily foil your plans if she is near your lane, as she will negate a lot of your all-in potential.
