Anthony Elanga earns his first senior call-up for Sweden after bursting onto the scene at Manchester United and becoming a key player for Ralf Rangnick... with Janne Andersson including the teenager in his squad for this month's World Cup play-offs

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.
