Failing to start networkmanager and modemmanager services [solved]

I want to try to connect to a Huawei E3272 Broadband USB via the combo networkmanager, modemmanager and network-manager-applet, but for some reason I cannot start the systemd services for networkmanager and modemmanager.

sudo systemctl start networkmanager
Failed to start networkmanager.service: Unit networkmanager.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

I've looked around in the wiki, but have no clue what I am doing wrong.

It requires the correct capitalisation:

# systemctl start NetworkManager ModemManager
