The match at Tannadice was postponed following a 10:00 inspection, with Motherwell stating on their website: "Extremely heavy overnight rain, together with a bleak forecast for the rest of the day, forced the match official to call the game off."
No new date has been announced yet for the game between United, who sit bottom of the Premiership, and Motherwell, who are third bottom but 11 points ahead of the Terrors.
