Dumb from Florenzi
I've heard it before, but I don't have much time to search. This page seems to start by agreeing with you:
https://football-technology.fifa.com/en/media-tiles/video-assistant-referee-var/
But then it goes on to say:
Incident occurs
The referee informs the VAR, or the VAR recommends to the referee that a decision/incident should be reviewed.
That's my bolding to pull out what seemed to happen here. They can't have been reviewing a decision, because a decision hadn't been made, he had given no indication of a corner or a penalty when he went to view the screens.

Last night Ajax made history being the first team to lose the first leg at home 2-1 and win the leg.
Tonight United did it one better by turning a 2-0 deficit around.

To be fair he is Liverpool through and through, even though he had a spell at united late in his career, so not really surprised he didn’t celebrate.

Even more funny that the guy he was dragging back was never getting on the end of it.
OK, I was quite interested, so did a tiny bit more searching, and I think I've found the relevant rules - but they could certainly be written more clearly. From here:

Again, I have bolded the bits which seem to describe this situation where a decision hasn't been made before the VAR.
In all these situations, the VAR is only used after the referee has made a decision (including allowing play to continue), or if a serious incident is ‘missed’ i.e. not seen by the match officials. Principles There are twelve principles which are the foundation of the VAR experiment: 1. Video technology will only be used to correct clear errors and for missed serious incidents in defined match-changing decisions: goal, penalty/no penalty, direct red card and mistaken identity (e.g. the referee cautions/sends off the wrong player).
So basically the ref knows it might have hit his hand, but didn't see well enough to judge, so called for a VAR review himself.

It's incredibly easy to jump without your arm out. I'm so fed up with Rio going "but it's natural"... so what, you train every single day to do things that aren't natural. There is no human instinct to slide tackle, or kick a football, they are trained. It's exceptionally easy to train yourself to jump with your arms in, you do that even for a couple days making sure you do it and it becomes natural. Ramos is someone who very obviously trained himself to do it because for years 99% of the time he jumps or goes in to block a shot you seem him cross his arms behind his back.
It's not remotely close to impossible to not jump like that, it's so painfully easy it's embarrassing for that to be used as an excuse. More over he raised his arm and extended it before he jumped.
Poor Castles is getting desperate

Really don't think that's the case. You could argue that nearly every decision the ref doesn't see well enough to give a certain decision. I think what you've quoted simply does refer to incidents that have been completely missed by the officials. The corner had been given by all accounts and with the use of VAR the decision has been overturned.

Watch him once or twice, he's the most obvious one and also I'm talking about defending and blocking shots. He's a giant POS who elbows his way through corners and other situations, but that isn't blocking shots or throwing himself in the way of shots. Watch him some time, same for defending crosses, he makes a huge and obvious move to do it more than any other player I've ever seen.
Elbowing people at corners is not the same situation in the slightest.
100% a penalty, he turned around, put his arm out which blocked the shot. Easy decision for the ref.
So happy the old Man Utd are back. After Fergie I thought it would never be the same again. Finally enjoying watching them play again until the very last minute.
