You're definitely onto something here. Around 55th or 56th minute in this game, Pogba clearly made diving signal toward Shaw questioning why Shaw didn't go down, when there was a challenge from Villa defender.United have clearly identified a big shitty loophole with the cluster fuck that is VAR. It happens way too often to be coincidence. So a player runs at speed in the box in proximity to another player, initiates some contact with their legs and go down in a heap. Ref gives a peno. VAR have a look and think there's not much in that but I can't overturn it. Peno stands.
It's bullshit that VAR can't tell a ref that a peno is too soft. If the ref didn't give it, VAR wouldn't look at it and tell the ref it was a peno because it's too soft. So the guys that have all the technology and can watch it several times in super slow motion can't tell the moron on the pitch, who is kinda guessing it's a foul, that he's wrong.
So Ole has clearly identified this as a sure fire way to getting points.
Load of shite

They're clearly playing for those penalties. The thing is the media is biasedly stay silent while the officials also allowing them to go on. Where is the punishments for diving now?

It's a coordinated work, by the interest of the money maker. They have Man U and Dippers' biased former player in there for a reason. All these soft penalties, and favored call for Dippers and Man U over the years is simply no coincedence, be it pre VAR, or with VAR.Pretty obvious that, yes. Doesn’t seem to be affecting them though. Maybe we should be less precious about how we behave on the pitch and do the same?

Bergy seems to have gotten the memoAll the teams should start doing it and then the officials will stop it.
