In 2020, Minh Bình was loaned to V.League 2 side Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu. As a regular starter for the team, Minh Bình scored 5 goals after 13 matches, thus played a big role on helping the team finising first in the phase 1 league table, then as runners-up in the phase 2 league table.[6]

In 2021, Minh Bình joined Công An Nhân Dân on a one-year loan deal. After a first season cut short after the league was cancelled due to the Covid-19 situation in Vietnam, Cong An Nhân Dân extended his loan for another year. During the 2022 season, Minh Bình appeared in all 20 league games with the team and scored 6 goals as the team was crowned as champions.[7][8]

In 2023, Minh Bình joined PVF-CAND on loan.[9]
