'man trying to help' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'upset clean young' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates an anagram.
'clean'+'young'='cleanyoung'
'cleanyoung' is an anagram of 'AGONY UNCLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agony uncle that I've seen before include "counsellor" , "helpful sort?" , "columnist" .)
