League One clubs are allowed to rearrange a fixture if they have at least three players away on international duty.
Whyte is a Northern Ireland regular and has accumulated 21 caps for his country since making his debut in September 2018.
The forward has been in great form in recent months, scoring his first goal of the season against Burton Albion on March 5 and claiming ten assists.
Brown played his first senior international game in September 2019, with Luxembourg the opponents, and has made a further six appearances.
The defender has featured six times for United since joining on loan from Cardiff on transfer deadline day and scored the winner at Crewe Alexandra last month.
Both players are due to return to the Sky Bet Championship club at the end of the season.
