Former world number one John McEnroe has revealed that he would like to coach Andy Murray.

The Wimbledon champion, who has been without a coach since parting ways with Ivan Lendl in March, has said that he is considering working with the American.

McEnroe told the Daily Record: "There are a lot of players from my era involved in coaching now. Some of these situations are tempting and you get into a part-time role.

"It's nice to see some of the other players closer to my generation, and some younger, being around the game. It's a nice shot in the arm for them as well as the sport. But my phone hasn't been ringing off the hook.

"I'm quite busy doing my own thing but if the right situation came along and I got an opportunity to coach a great player, it would certainly be something to think about. If Andy Murray picked up the phone and asked me to coach him, of course I would think about it."

McEnroe won seven Grand Slam titles during a 14-year playing career.
