Confusing Alan, U-turn that's not normal (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unnatural

'not normal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'confusing alan u-turn' is the wordplay.
'confusing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'alan'+'u'+'turn'='alanuturn'
'alanuturn' with letters rearranged gives 'UNNATURAL'.

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for unnatural that I've seen before include "Lacking normal feelings of, say, affection" , "odd" , "Sharp or flat" , "Affected" , "Abnormal; not spontaneous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
