Prunes will have to manage (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

run

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

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

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for run that I've seen before include "Move fast with the hens?" , "On the . . . - fleeing from pursuit" , "Manage; flee" , "Card sequence in suit" , "Manage, operate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
