Sir Andy Murrary broke down in tears after being victorious on court at the Davis Cup, as a Manchester United star made a surprise appearance.

Manchester's AO Arena has been hosting the group stages of the Davis Cup this week. Great Britain, France, Switzerland and Australia are competing with a spot in the finals up for grabs.

On Friday, Murray played for the first time as Great Britain took on Switzerland. The Wimbledon champion overcame Leandro Riedi, 21, in front of a crowd of thousands at the arena.

In trademark Murray style, the win was something of a rollercoaster with the 36-year-old losing the first set only to hit back and take the following two.
