You can setup Identity like this for example:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddDefaultIdentity<ApplicationUser>()
        .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>();
}

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    app.UseAuthentication();
}

That will tell your app to populate the claims on the ClaimsPrinciple, add the UserManager and RoleManager to your DI pipeline, and configure your ApplicationDbContext as the persistence store.

Then you can inject UserManager/RoleManager into any constructor you need to using the DI pipeline like this:

private readonly UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;

public CustomUserOperations(UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager)
{
    _userManager = userManager;
}

It is possible to use dependency injection to get an instance of UserManager class. Just add parameter to Configure method in Startup.cs.

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, 
    UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager, RoleManager<IdentityRole> roleManager)
{}

and then in controller:

public class CustomUserOperations: Controller
{
     private UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;
     CustomUserOperations(UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager)
     {
         _userManager = userManager;
     }

     public ApplicationUser GetCurrentUser()
     {
         ClaimsPrincipal currentUser = User;
         var user =_userManager.GetUserAsync(User).Result;
         return user;
     }
}
