Clip with Man U playing, inspiring one of City (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

municipal

'city' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'clip with man u playing inspiring one' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'playing' indicates an anagram.
'inspiring' indicates putting letters inside.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'clip' after 'man' is 'manclip'.
'manclip'+'u'='manclipu'
'manclipu' with letters rearranged gives 'municpal'.
'municpal' placed around 'i' is 'MUNICIPAL'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for municipal that I've seen before include "Borough" , "Civic" , "Run by the council" , "Relating to a town or district" , "Of local council" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
