editing out

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

'what's a striker doing?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'i got united transferred' is the wordplay.
'transferred' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'transferring' mean this).
'i'+'got'+'united'='igotunited'
'igotunited' with letters rearranged gives 'EDITING OUT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for editing out that I've seen before include "Removal of material" , "pulling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
