I believe the answer is:

manumission

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

'being unfettered team gets goal' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'team gets goal' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'man u' (short for Manchester United).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'goal' becomes 'mission'.
'manu'+'mission'='MANUMISSION'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for manumission that I've seen is " Emancipation".)
