Munna began his career in the Dhaka First Division League with East End Club in 1993. He helped the club gain promotion to the Premier Division within two seasons and eventually joined Mohammedan SC in 1996. He also had a stint with Indian club Mahindra United, where he won the prestigious Durand Cup trophy, defeating East Bengal in the final.[1][2][3]

In 1995, German coach Otto Pfister included Munna in the squad for the 4-nation Tiger Trophy in Myanmar. On 26 October 1995, he made his debut against hosts Myanmar in the first round-robin game where Bangladesh were defeated 0–4. During the game, he was substituted by Sohel Reza and did not appear again in the tournament.[4] Under the captaincy of Monem Munna, Bangladesh eventually went on to win their first international trophy by defeating the hosts 2–1 in the final.[5] He was also part of the national team that won its first gold medal, at the 1999 South Asian Games in Kathmandu, Nepal.[6]
