Man in line-out (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neil

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

'man' is the definition.
(man's name)

'line-out' is the wordplay.
'line' can be anagrammed to 'NEIL'.
But, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for neil that I've seen before include "- Armstrong, first man to walk on the moon" , "-- Armstrong, Apollo astronaut" , "- Simon, US dramatist (Barefoot in the Park)" , "Boy" , "-- Sedaka, US singer" .)
