Manchester and Leeds, say, are together in common purpose (6)

I believe the answer is:

united

(Other definitions for united that I've seen before include "Leeds, Sheffield or Manchester, perhaps" , "Allied or combined" , "Got together" , "Of one mind" , "Joined - football club" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
