Crystal Palace U21 coach Paddy McCarthy is delighted with the progress of Kaden Rodney.

The youngster again impressed for their 0-0 draw with U21 Premier League opponents Manchester United.

McCarthy told the club's website: “He's a Rolls-Royce, Kaden [Rodney], obviously he enjoys playing in midfield, but he's played at right-back; centre-half and he's debuted for the first-team as left-back. He's comfortable in many positions and good players are, they're always comfortable in any position.

"Hats off to Kaden, I thought he defended well, he helped in the build-up and we got out a few times down the right-hand side. He's a fantastic young man and it shows his versatility and ability to slot in there straight away.

“It's also been great for [David Ozoh], who had a taste of things over there [with the first-team], which is great for him as a second-year scholar to make his debut and become the youngest ever Premier League player for Crystal Palace. It shows the ability of the young man and he's ahead of schedule - he's playing in every game in the team, he's performing in every game that he's been available for and we'll continue to develop him in our team and get him across the road."
