Well, maybe because -U requires a numeric argument? Probably he meant -u,
man diff states:
-u Use the unified output format.
-U lines
--unified[=lines]
Use the unified output format, showing lines (an
integer) lines of context, or three if lines is not given.
For proper operation, patch typically needs at least two
lines of context.
