Gareth Southgate may have just two weeks to persuade Anthony Elanga to represent England at international level.

The Manchester United forward has scored three goals in all competitions this season and is currently flourishing under interim manager Ralf Rangnick.

At 19 years and 302 days, he became United's youngest ever Champions League knockout stage goalscorer on Wednesday after finding the net against Atletico Madrid.

Elanga was born in Malmo and has 16 youth caps for Sweden. His record at U21 level is very impressive, scoring seven goals in eight outings.

The Swedes are set to face Czech Republic in their World Cup play-off on March 24, with manager Janne Andersson expected to announce his team in around two weeks' time.

Elanga will not be ineligible to play for England if he plays in that game, as a player can make up to three competitive appearances and still switch allegiance.

That rule is only valid, however, if the player makes those outings under the age of 21 and are not in the "final stage" of a tournament.

Although a debut against the Czechs wouldn't rule out an England cap, Elanga would be unlikely to change his international allegiance afterwards.
