René Meulensteen & Man Utd Methods of Success Vol. 2
Full Season Plan, 17 Ready to Use Training Sessions, Match Tactics and 87 Practices
Direct from René Meulensteen, this is the full season training plan he used with the Manchester United's first team, who won 4 Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League
This is the only football coaching book that shows you how Manchester United structured their training, tactics, and match preparation across a full season.
"I love how this is from René and isn't the man who heard from the other man how Man Utd did it. This comes directly from him and adds a level of authenticity not often matched in coaching material."
"Excellent! One of the best I've read in recent times!!! Because it talks about experiences, theory and practice! recommendable"
René Meulensteen (UEFA Pro Licence) was Sir Alex Ferguson's First Team Coach at Manchester United (2007–2013) during the most successful years in the club's history. During this time, Manchester United won the UEFA Champions League, reached 2 further finals, and also won 4 Premier Leagues and a League Cup.
René was responsible for creating and delivering all first team training sessions, with the material in this book taken directly from his original Manchester United first team training files.
As a follow-up to Volume 1 (René's Coaching Philosophy and Sir Alex Ferguson's Management), Volume 2 provides a complete blueprint of Manchester United's full season plan, 17 training sessions (87 practices), and match tactics, showing exactly how training was structured, progressed, and adapted across pre-season, the competitive season, and specific match preparation phases.
"Sir Alex always used to remind me: 'René, remember everything we do in training manifests itself in the game - good and bad! We ask for world class performances from our players 2 to 3 times a week. They must always expect world class training and preparation from us as staff.'"
René Meulensteen - UEFA Pro Licence, Sir Alex Ferguson's First Team Coach (2007–2013)
René Shows You How To:
- Structure your full season and training week with clarity for consistent team performance
- Organise 1-match and 2-match training weeks effectively to keep players fresh and prepared
- Design and run high-quality training sessions that transfer directly to match performance
- Develop a high-tempo, attacking style of play through structured sessions and tactical patterns
