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

'united to get back highest-rated trophy? more work required' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'united to get back highest' is the wordplay.
'united' becomes 'U' (abbreviation).
'get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'back highest' becomes 'pia' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'u'+'to'+'pia'='UTOPIA'

Can you help me to learn more?
