And Antony, who gave Burn a torrid time in the Carabao Cup final in February, toyed with the defender throughout the first half.
The Brazilian jinked past Burn at one point, poking the ball through his legs before advancing on the Toon box.
But Burn gave as good as he got and some fans felt he did a good job containing the United winger.
One fan said: “Dan Burn is an absolute BEAST. Not a single look in for Antony on that right side, so he switches with Rashford and now Dan Burn doing a job on Rashford to so far!”
Another added: “Dan Burn’s had Antony in his pocket this whole first half.”
And a third said: “Antony and Dan Burn, that’s a battle that we love to see, especially when Burn just tower over Antony.”
However other fans saw the duel very differently, claiming Antony got the better of his opponent on multiple occasions.
One viewer wrote: “Antony terrorising Burn, you love to see it.”
