Embarrassing display by United in passage of play (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
scene one
'passage of play' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'embarrassing display by united' is the wordplay.
'embarrassing display' becomes 'scene' (I've seen this in another clue).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'united' becomes 'one' (as in a phrase like 'we are one').
'scene'+'one'='SCENE ONE'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
