Paul Lambert is ignoring chants from Aston Villa fans calling for him to become their new manager at Villa Park.

Norwich City manager Paul Lambert has played down talks about his future after Aston Villa fans chanted for him at Carrow Road.

The Canaries beat Villa 2-0 on the final day of the Premier League season to heap further pressure on opposition boss Alex McLeish.

Lambert has taken Norwich from League One to the top flight of English football since he took over at the club, and was backed by Villa fans in chants during Sunday's match.

"Aston Villa is not my team. Norwich is and the Norwich fans singing it is greatly appreciated," said Lambert.

"I understand what is happening at Aston Villa and I can see what is happening with the crowd and the manager which is never nice.

"But that is out of my control - my control is Norwich and the Norwich fans have been brilliant for me."

Norwich finished the year in 12th place, nine points ahead of Villa in 16th.
