  I think it could be a young Ash tree. I have a similar one growing at the moment which someone on this forum kindly identified for me.

  That’s an ash tree seedling ... it’ll grow into a huge (and I mean huge) tree if you don’t remove it ASAP. Look around ... you’ve probably got a large ash tree within 500m ... and learn to recognise the tiny seedlings and pull them out before they get as big as that one which is a few years old. 

  
  

  I love ash trees, but a garden is not the place for them
