Unai Emery's side sealed fourth place thanks to Tottenham's 2-0 defeat to Manchester City earlier this week.

It cements the the first time that Villa have qualified for Europe's most prestigious competition since 1983 - the year after they won the European Cup by defeating Bayern Munich.

There was wild celebrations on Tuesday when Villa found out they had qualified for the competition in the middle of their end-of-season awards.

Video footage posted on social media, shows that Villa midfielder McGinn has continued his celebrations this week on a night out in Birmingham.

A fan spotted McGinn as the man in the window - singing Michael Jackson's 'Man in the Mirror' at Noel's Bar and Restaurant in the city where he was enjoying his night with friends.

The Villa fan took a selfie video of himself filming McGinn, who was singing loudly.

One person on Twitter said that McGinn looked 'absolutely battered' after enjoying his night out.

The 29-year-old had a beer in his hand, as he looked directly into the camera as he loudly sung the Michael Jackson hit.

It has been a thriller of a season for Emery's side who finished ahead of Tottenham, Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester United to obtain a top-four finish.

McGinn, who has been with the side since they were in the Championship, has played a huge part in their success this season.

In 34 Premier League appearances he has netted six goals and registered four assists.

Villa finish off their season against Crystal Palace on Sunday, where they will look to reach 71 points with a victory - the first time they have had over 70 in the top flight since the inaugural Premier League season back in 1992-93.

Emery in his press conference on Friday said his objective with Villa is to win the Premier League and Champions League, despite admitting they are not currently contenders.

The 52-year-old Spaniard said: 'My objective is to win the Premier League, my objective is to win the Champions League, but it's very, very difficult. I want to dream with our supporters and the players and to believe always in our work.

'Of course, we're not contenders, but it's in our dreams to get something like that in the Premier League or Champions League.'
