Since 2017 and Symfony 3.3 you can register Repository as service, with all its advantages it has.

Check my post How to use Repository with Doctrine as Service in Symfony for more general description.

To your specific case, original code with tuning would look like this:

1. Use in your services or Controller

userRepository = $userRepository;
    }

    public function getUser($userId)
    {
        return $this->userRepository->find($userId);
    }
}

2. Create new custom repository

repository = $entityManager->getRepository(UserEntity::class);
    }

    public function find($userId)
    {
        return  $this->repository->find($userId);
    }
}

3. Register services

# app/config/services.yml
services:
    _defaults:
        autowire: true

    Test\CommonBundle\:
       resource: ../../Test/CommonBundle
