A few seconds on their website would have found you https://www.united.com/web/en-US/con...daychange.aspx, and specifically :

You may stand by if seats are not available in the purchased fare class. In these cases, the same-day change fee will apply, but will not be charged unless you are assigned a seat on your alternate flight.
