RUBEN Amorim's new home town might look familiar to him, as it is used as the setting for his favourite TV show.
The new Manchester United boss, from Portugal, became so obsessed with Peaky Blinders he watched the first three series back-to-back.
And although the show is set in Birmingham in the 1920s, Amorim will now have its iconic set on his doorstep, as much of the filming is carried out around Manchester.
Filming locations for the popular BBC show include streets in the city's trendy Northern Quarter.
The real-life location of crime boss turned MP Tommy Shelby's mansion is Arley Hall & Gardens in Cheshire, near where it is understood Amorim is now searching for a home.
Portuguese journalist Tiago Carrasco spent months researching Amorim while writing a biography, which included interviewing some of the star's closest pals.
Tiago said: "Ruben describes Peaky Blinders as his favourite programme.
"He told friends how he became addicted to watching it. I know it's a big show in England but it's also famous here in Portugal and is one of the biggest on Netflix."
