Manchester United academy graduate Anthony Elanga has been called up to Sweden’s senior squad for the first time.
The 19-year-old forward has been a rare positive in a disappointing season at Old Trafford, scoring three goals in 18 appearances.
Elanga scored at Atletico Madrid three weeks ago and started Tuesday’s last-16 second leg defeat to the Spanish side, which has been followed by a first Sweden call-up.

Elanga’s father Joseph played in Sweden for Malmo and represented Cameroon, including going to the 1998 World Cup.
