Edinburgh United were the sole "Junior" club in Edinburgh for the majority of their time in the Junior leagues, with all other non-league clubs either playing in the senior East of Scotland Football League or latterly the Lowland Football League. Spartans ran a Junior team for four seasons from 2009 to 2013, while Warriston based Craigroyston joined the Junior setup from 2016.[2] Both clubs moved into the East of Scotland League in 2018.

The team have been managed since October 2018 by Ian Flynn.[3]

Craig Nisbet was appointed manager in December 2023 after overseeing the under 20's development team previously. He is assisted by Ruaridh Delaney.

Edinburgh United currently also have a youth section catering for ages from 5-16 and play in the youth ESSDA leagues.
