Crossword Genius

Prunes have to manage (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

run

'manage' is the definition.
(both can mean to organise)

'prunes have' is the wordplay.
'have' indicates a hidden word.
'RUN' is hidden within 'prunes'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for run that I've seen before include "Enter a race" , "Unit of score in cricket" , "Move fast or manage" , "faster pace needed" , "Uninterrupted sequence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
