if the flight next day is available ... sure, UA will oblige. Ever seen sold out flights for days in particular when a cancellation happens? That'll mean you are left with an expensive choice (UA won't pay) to stay multiple extra days or take a re-route and then needing to deal w/ your bags. There is a non-zero risk. The chance is low, but far from zero ... I have seen! Assuming UA will allow non-logical re-routings (and eat the airport fees) involving partners when they have space on their own metal ... ugh ...
