Man United having to manage wisely (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

husband

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

'manage wisely' is the definition.
'husband' can be an answer for 'manage' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'wisely' bit.

'man united having' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'man' could be 'ban' and 'ban' is located in the answer.
'united' could be 'u' (abbreviation) and 'u' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for husband that I've seen before include "M arried man" , "manage carefully" , "Use resources economically" , "Man United" , "Partner in marriage" .)
