How to disable dhclient completely in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS without disabling or uninstalling network manager?

Question

I am so frustrated that there seems to be no solution. I want to use dhcpcd instead of dhclient. How to disable dhclient? I want to use dhcpcd with network manager. Dhclient should not start on boot, it should not automatically started (for example by another process) Please help

In /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf add this line :

dhcp=dhcpcd

and restart NetworkManager.
