Sir Alex Ferguson and Thierry Henry are among the famous faces on Wimbledon's Centre Court for men's semi-final day as defending champion Novak Djokovic takes on Richard Gasquet.

The former Arsenal striker and Manchester United manager, who shared many battles during the fierce rivalry between the clubs, exchanged pleasantries before settling down for the two last-four clashes on Friday.

Henry was sat alongside girlfriend Andrea Rajacic as he chatted and laughed with Ferguson while they waited for the action to get underway out on Centre Court.

Brit hero Murray hopes to seal a place in the Wimbledon final as he battles seven-time champion Federer in his quest for a second title.

After his defeat in the final against the Swiss three years ago, Murray went on to beat Federer to secure Olympic gold in 2012, before achieving his ultimate dream of winning Wimbledon in 2013.

And the Scot partly attributed his eventual success to the influence of Ferguson when the former United boss has shared his wisdom in the past.

The pair obviously had a lot to chat about after their two clubs battled for supremacy earlier in the decade

'We chat about a lot of things,' Murray said, adding Sir Alex 'said a few things, what he's observed when he's been watching me, not necessarily about technical or tactical things, but more sort of mental things, how you respond to tough or tight situations.'

The footballing pair are joined in the Royal Box by India cricket favourite Sachin Tendulkar and past Wimbledon champions Bjorn Borg, Lindsay Davenport and Manuel Santana.

Murray, 28, issued a rallying call to supporters ahead of the match, with Federer also a firm fan favourite among the Wimbledon crowd.

'I hope I get good support,' Murray said. 'It's been the case throughout the whole event and every year that I played here.

'Roger's extremely popular everywhere he goes, so it might not be as partisan a crowd or atmosphere as some matches that I play here. But it will still be an excellent atmosphere. I'll still get a boost from the crowd, I'm sure.'
