Eloquent model User doesn't returns the right array - laravel-4.2

Question

I currently have trouble in making a site page on which every user is displayed in order to manage them.
The users will be displayed with name, email, permission and links to modify, reset their password and delete them on the other page
I made a function in my controller for the page "manage-user":
public function getManageUsers(){
$users = User::all();
var_dump($users);
return View::make('UsersManagement.manage-users')->with('users', '$users');
}
but the result of the var_dump() is actually:
object(Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection)[163]
protected 'items' =>
array (size=3)
0 =>
object(User)[159]
protected 'table' => string 'users' (length=5)
protected 'hidden' =>
array (size=2)
...
protected 'connection' => null
protected 'primaryKey' => string 'id' (length=2)
protected 'perPage' => int 15
public 'incrementing' => boolean true
public 'timestamps' => boolean true
protected 'attributes' =>
array (size=9)
...
protected 'original' =>
array (size=9)
...
protected 'relations' =>
array (size=0)
...
protected 'visible' =>
array (size=0)
...
protected 'appends' =>
array (size=0)
...
protected 'fillable' =>
array (size=0)
...
protected 'guarded' =>
array (size=1)
...
protected 'dates' =>
array (size=0)
...
protected 'touches' =>
array (size=0)
...
protected 'observables' =>
array (size=0)
...
protected 'with' =>
array (size=0)
...
protected 'morphClass' => null
public 'exists' => boolean true
here is the model if it helps :
<?php
use Illuminate\Auth\UserTrait;
use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableTrait;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;
class User extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {
use UserTrait, RemindableTrait;
/**
* The database table used by the model.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $table = 'users';
/**
* The attributes excluded from the model's JSON form.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = array('password', 'remember_token');
}
I don't understand where the problem is since I always used this line of code to retrieve every data of of a database and it always worked with the DB's indexes.
I'm really lost on this situation and don't know what to do.
Any help is welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
