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. https://twitter.com/rioferdy5/status/943197969351872512 The clip has alread been widely circulated (largely by United fans), with David De Gea also giving it his seal of approval. 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. https://twitter.com/D_DeGea/status/943198421036535808 Weeks on from their win in North London, United remain in second place in the Premier League having lost to Manchester City in the derby.
