You can pass what you want in your User constructor. You'll have to pass it from your controller (where your queryManger is available).

In your controller:

$group_user = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager()->getRepository("Bundle:Entity")->find(4);
$user = new User($group_user);

In your construct:

public function __construct(Group $group_user)
{
    $this->$group = $group_user;
}

When you'll persist your user entity in the controller, the user and it's group relation will be directly saved.

But how will i get that group with id=4 in the constructor. youmean to say that i have to do in controller. i was looking if i can do that in Entity itself

It's a bad idea IMO to manipulate EntityMangager in an Entity. An Entity should be agnostic of the EM and just work with others entities. I use this in my project, an object is related to a pricing plan, I pass the pricing plan object through the constructor
