If you're on a Boeing or Airbus aircraft (model number starts with B, 7, or A) you'll be fine. If you're on an Embraer or Bombardier (model number starts with E or CRJ), larger carry-on bags might not fit and will need to be gate-checked. Generally they only use those smaller planes for very short flights and/or flights to rather small airports.
Aug 23, 2021 at 17:16 comment added Gavin S. Yancey One thing to worry about -- United has a lot of small planes, which tend to have smaller spaces for carry-on luggage. If you're on one, many larger bags that fit within their published size requirements will still not fit on the plane and must be gate-checked, regardless of when you board.
