Set User's entry field from PHP in Craft 3

Question

From this question, I tried:

$user->setAttributes(['products' => $userProductsIds]);

return Craft::$app->getElements()->saveElement($user);

Where $user is an instance of craft\elements\User; and $userProductsIds an array. It's not giving me any errors, but the user is not updated. Any idea on what am I missing?

By checking vendor/craftcms/cms/src/controllers/UsersController.php and vendor/craftcms/cms/src/base/Element.php, I did it like

$user->setFieldValue('products', $userProductsIds);
return Craft::$app->getElements()->saveElement($user, false);
