User.Identity.IsAuthenticated equivalent in asp.net core

I am using the default MVC 6 template in Visual Studio. I need to check if a user is authenticated in a class. This should be very simple but I cannot figure out why its not working. Thanks in advance.

using Microsoft.AspNet.Http;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Security.Claims;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework;
using System.Security.Principal;

namespace fake.Classes
{
    public class fakeUser
    {
        public static string getBrand()
        {
            if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
            {
                return getThemeName();
            }
        }
    }
}

For the ASP.NET Core 1 version, you need to inject SignInManager to your controller via the consutructor, add that to a private signInManager field.

private SignInManager<ApplicationUser> _signInManager;

constructor:

SignInManager<ApplicationUser> signInManager
_signInManager = signInManager;

then, you can use the signinmanager to check authentication:

_signInManager.IsSignedIn(User)
