HAVING stepped into Bryan Robson's shoes as manager of Middlesbrough Football Club, former Manchester United coach Steve McClaren could be moving into Robson's old home.

It is understood that McClaren's wife, Catherine, was house-hunting when estate agents let slip that the home she had her eye on had been put on the market by her husband's predecessor.

Middlesbrough Football Club declined to comment yesterday, saying such matters were private and nothing to do with the club.

But Robson's home, with its four bathrooms, three reception rooms, dressing room and study, is on Mrs McClaren's short list of preferred homes to consider.
