Said that earlier
I am not sure if it would have if W/H scored,as knowing them they would have said the foul we should have got was the end of a phase of play,and the corner was the start of a new one so cant do nothing,but heck who knows

Can confirm that this is what happened in American football. The silver lining is that they've gotten a lot better at making the decisions rapidly and getting them "right" in the last 30 years.
Instant replay was terrible in the NFL in year one. Of course VAR is terrible right now. It will get better, it will take longer than you think it should to get better, and there will always be controversial decisions. Those will (eventually) get much rarer, though.
The manager across the park did successfully hit on the biggest limitation of replay, which is the rule to uphold the decision on the field in the absence of unambiguous video evidence. He's right in the specific case of footy that this will probably lead to some close fouls going uncalled, which will change the game (and likely not for the better).
I'm not going to promise that you'll be happy with VAR in the long run, but I would argue that it's much too early to judge.

They've got it arseways about.
Instead of giving the benefit of the doubt to the officials when it comes to very marginal offside decisions where a player just might be offside by a toenail, they scrutinise them down to the last millimetre in an attempt to prove offside or otherwise. Then when it comes to dubious penalty decisions they give the benefit of any doubt to the referee even when is clear and obvious that he got it wrong.
Until they get their priorities right it isn't going to work properly.

Are other leagues having the same problems with VAR?
From what I have seen on TV, other leagues are still using the approach that the ref goes and has a look on the screen at anything that's not conclusive.

What problem is that? Worked fine yesterday.
It needs to go asap
This.
The problem the Premier League has with VAR was summed up by an incident in the England Australia game on Saturday. An absolutely blatant forward pass leads to Australia scoring in the last minute, it was spotted in real time by pretty much everyone with eyes. The video ref then watches it and to the amazement of absolutely everybody says 'looks fine to me'. In rugby the referee has also seen it again, says no are you blind it's miles forward, and is able to disallow it. In the PL, the referee would just be overruled by the video ref who's got it calamitously wrong. It's a mess.

Just on VAR generally.
This season showed the massive flaws of VAR never correcting a Referee.
Why are the Refs not looking at different angles of incidents pitchside on a small screen, like they did in the Men and Women's World Cups, not sure why the PL doesn't have that.
