I believe the answer is:

unveil

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

'reveal' is the definition.
('unveil' can be a synonym of 'reveal')

'nothing about european victor returning to follow united' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'european' could be 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'victor' could be 'v' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'v' is located in the answer.
'nothing' could be 'nil' ('nil' can be a synonym of 'nothing') and 'nil' is found within the remaining letters.
'united' could be 'u' and 'u' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
