Hi guys i have this in my model:

    {
        public string FullNamme { get; set; }


        public ClaimsIdentity GenerateUserIdentity(ApplicationUserManager manager)
        {
            // Note the authenticationType must match the one defined in CookieAuthenticationOptions.AuthenticationType
            var userIdentity = manager.CreateIdentity(this, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
            // Add custom user claims here
            return userIdentity;
        }

        public Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(ApplicationUserManager manager)
        {
            return Task.FromResult(GenerateUserIdentity(manager));
        }
    }

    public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser>
    {
        public ApplicationDbContext()

You could get user manager object every where by use of Owin context manager. And by help of user manager you could get user object by ID:

//make sure you added this line in the using section
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin

string fullname = HttpContext.Current.GetOwinContext()
    .GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>()
    .FindById(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.GetUserId()).FullName;

With Identity you should use the UserManager class for this sort of operation. The default MVC template will also create it's own inherited version called ApplicationUserManager, so assuming you haven't removed/changed that:

var userId = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.GetUserId();
var userManager = ApplicationUserManager.Create();
var user = await userManager.FindByIdAsync(userId);
string fullName = user.FullName;
