Finally Manchester United’s back in American city (4)

I believe the answer is:

reno

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'american city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'finally manchester united's back' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'united's' says to put letters next to each other.
'back' becomes 'eno' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The final letter of 'manchester' is 'r'.
'r'+'eno'='RENO'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
