Playing style

Mạnh Quỳnh is known for his ability to dribble the ball cleverly with his twists and turns which gives difficulties to his opponents to defend against him. He frequently operated as an offensive wide midfielder or as a left-winger, due to his quality to deliver efficient crosses, as well as due to his ability to cut inside and shoot with his right foot. Mạnh Quỳnh cited Nguyễn Công Phượng as the inspiration for his playing style.[7][8][9]
