Crossword Genius

Deal with, direct (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manage

This clue is a double definition.

'deal with' is the first definition.
('manage' can be a synonym of 'deal with')

'direct' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for manage that I've seen before include "Handle, run" , "Run, be in charge of" , "Run (a football team)" , "Run; cope" , "Supervise staff" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
