Chap with energy finds fruit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mango

'fruit' is the definition.
(I know this)

'chap with energy' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'man' (chap can mean a man).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'energy' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues).
'man'+'go'='MANGO'

'finds' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for mango that I've seen before include "Once exotic fruit" , "fruit tree" , "Fleshy tropical fruit" , "Fruit, often in chutney" , "Type of fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
