  I'd say it's a young elder (Sambucus nigra) aka elderberry tree.  Seed probably deposited by a bird.  They grow quickly and are really best suited as part of a field hedgerow rather than a garden.  Once they get established, they are harder to remove.

  If you crush a leaf then it will smell quite strongly and not very nice, if it is elder.
  

  A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
