Changing Path for User Class in Laravel - development

Changing Path for User Class in Laravel

I moved the User.php in my laravel installation to a different folder and adjusted the namespace accordingly. Still, when I login into the page, laravel is not able to find the class and throws an error.

I ran composer clear-cash and composer dump-autoload but still it is not working as Laravel still searches for App/User.php instead of App/Classes/User/User.php

The User.php looks like this:

namespace AppClassesUser;

use AppEventsEventGenerator;
use AppEventsUserUserRegistered;

use AppPermission;
use AppRole;
use LaratrustTraitsLaratrustUserTrait;

use IlluminateContractsAuthAuthenticatable as Authenticatable;
use IlluminateNotificationsNotifiable;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel;
use IlluminateConsoleCommand;


class User extends Model implements Authenticatable {
    use EventGenerator;
    (...)
