Massunguna started his career at Primeiro de Agosto, when he was promoted from the youth team in 2002. He played three seasons for them in the Girabola before moving to Deportivo Huíla in 2005. He spent two seasons for them before moving to Primeiro de Maio. Dani only played for them for one season before moving back to his first club, Primeiro de Agosto. He is now an integral part of their first team, and his good performances led to an international call-up.
