United trail rivals Liverpool by three points heading into the match, and Scholes has told the BBC that his old club aren't favourites for the match.
"If you were betting, you would be betting on Liverpool," he said.
Speaking about Mourinho, Scholes also added that he should've done more to hone his squad in the summer.
"He was not ruthless enough in the off-season. There is so much confusion about who should play.
"What I saw of Mourinho at Chelsea, he had 13 or 14 players who played every week. He never rested players even in the League Cup or whatever competition he was in.
"With United it is still a settling-in period - it is going to take a bit of time for them to knit together and see what they are about.
"Is there an identity to the team yet? I don't think there is."
On top of this, Scholes paid tribute to Jurgen Klopp for bringing his style of football to the club.
"You can see Jurgen Klopp has stamped his way of playing football on the team," Scholes said.
"There's a definite way about them. You know how they're going to play. They're going to be quick, they're going to try to take the ball off you and try to score goals by flooding the box.
"I was worried about them defensively, but they have already played some of the big teams and they are a real threat.
"The form they're in, they look as good as any team in the league."
