Laravel 5.1 Return a view from a class into the controller

I have the following controller:

class MyController extends Controller {
  public function getTestView() {
      return view("user::index");
  }
}

Instead of returning the view directly from my controller method I would like to have another object which is responsible to return this view after adding some calculation code.

This is my class:

class User extends AbstractPerson {

    function __construct() {    
       $this->initView();
    }

    private function initView(){
      return view('user::index');
    }
}

My controller now looks like this:

 class MyController extends Controller {
     public function getTestView() {
         return new User();
     }
 }

After calling this I get the following error:

UnexpectedValueException in Response.php line 395: The Response content must be a string or object implementing __toString(), "object" given.

Any ideas why? Thanks
