No problem.

The reason that I ask is that, typically, changing the return after flying the outbound does not involve a re-price if the same inventory class is available and all fare rules of the original ticket are met. So, while you may not be able to change for free, if there's inventory in your fare bucket, it's worth calling UA to see if you can do the change for only the change fee. It's not as good as $0, but it may be better than nothing.
