Meulensteen played football himself in the Dutch lower leagues as a midfielder but he retired from playing at the age of 29. He is currently employed by Manchester United, serving as their first team coach.

While still playing, he became a youth coach at NEC Nijmegen. A keen admirer of the training methods of Wiel Coerver, he went to Qatar at age 29 to work with Coerver, and the national youth players of Qatar. He went on to coach both the Qatar national team under 16's and under 17's youth sides. In 1999, he became manager of Qatari side Al-Etehad (now known as Al-Gharrafa). While Manchester United were lifting the 1999 UEFA Champions League trophy, Meulensteen was lifting the Middle East equivalent Arab Cup trophy. In 2000 he moved to league rivals Al-Sadd, where he managed the team to winning the domestic Emir Cup competition.

As Meulensteen objected to the team management's inclusion of particular foreign players in Al-Saad, he left the club. Having already showed interest in Meulensteen before he moved to Al-Saad, Sir Alex Ferguson and academy director Les Kershaw persuaded him to join Manchester United as "Skills Development Coach" in 2001, coaching all of the youngsters from age 9 to 21. In December 2005, Sir Alex Ferguson promoted him to manage Manchester United's reserve team, after the departure of Ricky Sbragia who left to become first team coach with Sam Allardyce and Sammy Lee at Bolton Wanderers. Meulensteen retained his role as "Skills Development Coach".

In the winter break following the first half of the 2006-07 Danish Superliga season, Brøndby were in 7th place, 19 points adrift the leading side, local rivals F.C. Copenhagen. As Brøndby had finished as either champions or runners-up every year since the 1994-95 season, on January 5, 2007, Meulensteen and Brøndby IF dissolved their cooperation. Meulensteen didn't share the same views in the way forward as members of the Brøndby IF board. Meulensteen returned to live in Manchester, while Brøndby IF hired former head coach and then youth trainer Tom Køhlert as head coach for 2½ years.

On 18 January 2007, Meulensteen rejoined Manchester United as technical skills development coach mainly to work with the first team. After the departure in July 2008 of their assistant manager, Carlos Queiroz to Portugal as their national team manager, Meulensteen took over as first team coach, with Mike Phelan being promoted to assistant manager. Both assumed their new roles on 13 August 2008.

Martin Edwards Biography

Staff

Charles Martin Edwards was born 24 july 1945 in Adlington, Cheshire, England. At thirteen, he failed the entrance exam for Stowe School, his parents' first choice, and went to Cokethorpe instead. He left at 18 with six O levels and no A levels. He was the chairman of Manchester United from 1980 until 2002. He now holds the position of honorary life president at the club.

He was elected to the Manchester United board in March 1970. He became chairman in March 1980 on death of his 65-year-old father Louis, the previous chairman. When the Football Association voted to allow football clubs to have one paid director, he became Chief Executive and paid himself an annual salary of £30,000.

During the season when Edwards took over as chairman, United finished runners-up to Liverpool in the Football League First Division, but had not won the league title since 1967 and had not won a major trophy at all in three seasons of Dave Sexton's management. At the end of the 1980-81 season, United finished eighth in the league after seven successive wins at the end of the season. Manager Dave Sexton was looking set to be offered a new three-year contract, but the deal was never signed and Edwards sacked Sexton after four trophyless seasons as manager.
Edwards then began the hunt for a new manager. There was talk that he would appoint Lawrie McMenemy, who had guided Southampton to a shock win over United in the FA Cup final five years earlier, as successor to Dave Sexton. It was also rumoured that United were interested in recruiting Brian Clough, once a league champion and twice a European Cup winner with Nottingham Forest, but Edwards insisted that he would not be approaching Clough about the job vacancy. He instead turned to Ron Atkinson, whose impressive West Bromwich Albion side had qualified for the UEFA Cup three times in four seasons with top-five league finishes, reaching the quarter-finals on one occasion. Atkinson accepted the offer, and soon after this appointment, Edwards made the funds available for Atkinson to bring in Albion's midfielder Bryan Robson for a national record fee of £1.5million. This national record would remain unbroken by English clubs for six years, and Robson went on to be one of the club's greatest ever players.

Edwards enabled United to break the national transfer record twice in 2001 when they signed Dutch striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Argentine midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron, but he was forced to resign as Chairman in 2002, after allegations of using a prostitute on an official club business trip to Switzerland. Despite this, he continued to represent the club at FA and UEFA meetings.

He still remains at Old Trafford as honorary life president and sits on the club's football board alongside Sir Bobby Charlton. He sold his 6.7% share in the club to new investor Harry Dobson in 2003.
