United subject to European record with new side being praised (9)
I believe the answer is:
eulogised
'being praised' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'united subject to european record with new side' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'united' could be 'u' (abbreviation as in Man U for Manchester United) and 'u' is found within the answer.
'european' could be 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'record' could be 'log' (logging is a kind of recording) and 'log' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'side' is 'ised' which is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eulogised that I've seen before include "given major promotion" , "Extolled" , "Praised (someone) highly" , "Praised formally" .)
