Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has insisted he won't celebrate despite securing his 100th win at the club following their 1-0 Europa League victory over Lille on Thursday (March 12).

The 54-year-old became just the third manager in Aston Villa history to reach 100 wins after Ollie Watkin’s headers saw them scrape past Lille.

Speaking to reporters after the game, though, Emery insisted he wasn’t bothered by the new record and already has his sights on the weekend’s fixture against Man United.

“It’s done,” he said. “Everything I did is done. Now I want to play Sunday in Manchester. I want to play (next) Thursday against Lille.

“I want to continue being demanding in how I can improve the team and myself.”
