During the 2013 January transfer window, Muniru signed the first professional contract of his career. The midfielder was signed by CFR Cluj as a replacement for playmaker Modou Sougou, who left the club for Marseille. He worn the number 48 on the jersey to celebrate his mother's (née Hajia Kande) birthday.[3]

Steaua București

In June 2015, aged 22, Muniru joined Steaua București on a four-year contract, the Romanian champions paying an undisclosed fee for his transfer.[4] He scored his first goal for the club against AS Trenčín, in the Champions League second qualifying round's second leg.[5]
