From what we've seen so far, Rio Ferdinand has managed to keep a lid on his emotions in his role as a pundit.
This, however, doesn't appear to have been the case during Manchester United's 3-1 victory over Arsenal a few weeks ago.
Rio was again in the BT Sport studio at The Emirates to offer his thoughts onthe game. While he did so in a considered, professional manner during the half-time and full-time analysis, he couldn't hide his loyalty to his former club.
Footage recorded in the studio during the game shows the former United defender reacting to a number of key moments in the game, beginning with Jesse Lingard hitting the post and ending with the same player scoring United's third goal of the game.

De Gea made a string of saves to deny Arsenal an equaliser when United were 2-1 up and was also described as the best 'keeper in the world by Ferdinand in the video above.
