To achieve 29 goals in 2025, Mạnh Quân only needed 29 matches, averaging 1 goal per game. Although still a young player and all goals coming from youth competitions, the U17 Vietnam striker is proving himself as an extremely promising forward for the future of Vietnamese football.

Notably Trần Mạnh Quân was initially not included in Coach Roland’s plan for the U17 Vietnam team. However, after striker Nguyễn Lê Quang Khôi failed to recover in time from a ligament injury and had to miss the 2026 U17 Asian qualifiers, Mạnh Quân was given the opportunity. From being a last-minute addition to the squad, Mạnh Quân has shown himself to be a valuable striker for Vietnam’s U17 attack.
