Try this.

private ApplicationUserManager _userManager;
public ApplicationUserManager UserManager
{
    get
    {
        return _userManager ?? 
        HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>();
    }
    private set
    {
        _userManager = value;
    }
}

Register User like this.

var user = new ApplicationUser {
    UserName = "John Doe",
    Email = "john.doe@foo.com"
};

// params: username and password
var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, "name_birthday_cheeky");
if (result.Succeeded)
{
    UserManager.AddToRole(user.Id, "expert");

    //code omitted for brevity
}
