I've never had a menu on a domestic United flight, other than the soon to be retired p.s. sub-brand.

I remember menus in domestic F on NW meal flights but not CO, exception being transcons exEWR; I didn't fly UA but people used to bring them back for me from their flights so I suspect they did on the longer segments
post 9/11
menus disappeared on all domestic F NW meal flights, CO still on transcons exEWR. Started flying UA but only got menus on p.s.

EWR-LAS
10:26am departure on 6/26/2017
Flight 1179 A320
Choice of lobster casserole or lentil chili. I had the latter; quite good but a bit bland. Salt and pepper helped a lot.
LAS-EWR
9:30am departure on 6/29/2017
Flight 2383 on B737.
I had scrambled eggs sitting on top of Canadian bacon, which in turn was sitting on top of mashed potatoes. Very good indeed, and it was a LOT of food. Came with Chobani Greek yogurt and a plate of mixed fruit. All excellent. Sorry, I've forgotten what the other choice was; I always get the egg dish on breakfast flights.

IAD-SEA
0825 departure
A320
Choice of fiesta omelet, cheese blintzes or cereal with fruit. Same old omelet but came with a much nicer fruit bowl and packet of cholula! Cookies served prior to landing.
Service was attentive and personable the whole 5.5 hours and purser even offered anything we wanted from the back later in the flight.

DEN-IAD back on 6/28 (think it was UA 495 IIRC)... they failed to cater the actual meals for F. They loaded the biscuits and cinnamon rolls, but that was it. Also lacked any snacks or cookies.
FAs did offer anything we wanted from the Y Choices menu at least--sigh. I'd have eaten in the airport if I had known my options were heartburn wrap, the fruit & nut box, or fighting with the rest of the pax for one of the few cheeseburgers.

This is what gets me. Why does the crew have to get "business class or better"?? You'd think they might be able to negotiate other contract terms more successfully if they slummed down a bit on this unnecessary, holier-than-thou requirement.
And I also wonder how well is enforced the guidance that customers select first "even pulling from crew meals" -- I can easily see a grumpy crew member telling an F passenger "sorry we're out of xxxx" in order to hoard for him/herself -- not unlike the practice that has been reported here of crew members "hoarding" the limited gel pillows for their own rest breaks.

Again, crew meals are separate from pax meals, they are often served in plastic and are oftentimes a different meal than the pax get so they would not ever be served to pax.

UAX 5730 IAH-SLC CR7 Dinner
Cold pasta with salami and olives, green salad with 2 slices of citrus, and grapes.
Other option was a salmon salad.
