I think it is true.
And so what if the VAR generally backs the referee?
I'm saying it was the 80 million pound player who "bought" the penalty.
If it's at the other end where a Villa 'nobody' goes over, it ain't given.
Patrice Evra said that it could have even been given as a free kick to the Villa defender, which is the way I saw it.

VAR has to go IMO and the "monitor at the side" system made available for the referee to review if he feels he may have got it wrong. That way he is solely responsible for the decision, as it always has been, which people can accept.
