UN tried desperately to enter uninvited (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intrude

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

'un tried desperately' is the wordplay.
'desperately' is an anagram indicator.
'un'+'tried'='untried'
'untried' anagrammed gives 'INTRUDE'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for intrude that I've seen before include "Poke one's nose in" , "Push in unwantedly" , "Come in without invitation" , "Untried (anag)" , "Trespass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
