If anyone ever asks you to gauge your excitement using the popular "on a scale of 1-10" method, just cast your mind back to Rio Ferdinand's expression in the video above.

Because that is, without a shadow of a doubt, what a 10 looks like.

The object of Ferdinand's impassioned glee is Manchester United's equalising goal against Liverpool in last Sunday's Premier League game.

Ferdinand himself shared the clip on Twitter later that day, where it quickly got over 6000 RTs.

"Hahahaha maybe I got a bit carried away..." wrote the former United player.
