If you want to persist with the NetworkManager approach, this tutorial
to configure it nmtui is good.
NetworkManager supports static IP addresses and you can configure them
in nmtui.

Remember if you use NetworkManager you have to remove your static
entries in /etc/network/interfaces file and/or in files in
/etc/network.interfaces.d
The long term best choice is to convert to using systemd-networkd which
is highly configurable and much more reliable than NetworkManager
