On 3 December 2014, Muñoz made his competitive debut with the main squad, coming on as a substitute for Kevin Gameiro in the 75th minute of a 5–1 home routing over CE Sabadell FC for the campaign's Copa del Rey.[4] On 8 February of the following year, again from the bench, he first appeared in La Liga, in a 1–2 loss at Getafe CF.[5]

Muñoz signed a new deal with Sevilla on 4 January 2016, renewing until 2019 and being definitely promoted to the first team.[6] He scored his first professional goal 24 days later, contributing to a 3–0 away success against CD Mirandés for the quarter-finals of the domestic cup (5–0 aggregate);[7] his first goal in the top flight came on the last day of the season, a consolation in a 1–3 loss at Athletic Bilbao.[8]
