Muñoz was born in San Sebastián de los Reyes, Community of Madrid, and is a youth product of Alcobendas CF, CD Chamartín Vergara and Rayo Vallecano.[1] He gained national attention after scoring 19 goals with the latter's under-19 team as a midfielder in the 2021–22 season.[2]

Muñoz was promoted to Rayo's reserves in Tercera Federación for the 2022–23 season,[3] and signed his first professional contract with the club on 20 May 2022.[4] He made his first team – and professional – debut with Rayo as a late substitute in a 1–1 La Liga tie with Atlético Madrid on 18 October 2022.[5]

On 1 September 2023, Muñoz signed a two-year contract with Primera Federación side Deportivo de La Coruña.[6] The following 25 January, after featuring rarely, he was loaned to fellow league team CD Atlético Baleares until June.[7]

On 29 June 2024, Muñoz renewed his link with Dépor until 2026, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda Federación.[8] On 1 August, however, he moved to Marbella FC in the third division on loan for the season.[9]
