When Meunier joined Club Brugge in 2011, he initially played as a striker or right winger before he was transformed into a right back by head coaches Juan Carlos Garrido, Georges Leekens and Michel Preud'homme due to the lack of players playing in that position because of injuries sustained by his teammates Davy De Fauw and Tom Høgli, and the departure of Carl Hoefkens.{{cite news|title=Meunier: "Liever kampioen dan naar het WK"|url=http://sporza.be/cm/sporza/voetbal/Jupiler_Pro_League/1.1766792|publisher=Sporza.be|language=nl|date=30 October 2013|access-date=17 November 2017}}
