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

'new deal' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'supply manager and renter' is the wordplay.
'supply' indicates anagramming the letters (in a supple way).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'manager' put after 'renter' is 'rentermanager'.
'rentermanager' is an anagram of 'REARRANGEMENT'.

'make' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
