I found a workaround.
In a terminal:
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080"  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode Virtual1 1920x1080
xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 1920x1080

And the display is set to the correct resolution and all works fine.
The problem is when I restart the system, I have an error window with:

Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors
none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes:
CRTC 63: Trying modes for ......... with output at 1920x1080@60hz (pass 0)
....
CRTC 63: Trying modes for 800x600@60hz with output at 1920x1080@60hz (pass 1)
....
and the monitor starts with 800x600 resolution.

So, I did again the commands of above and the resolution go fine to
1920x1080.

Title:
  Unable to set 1920x1080 resolution in Ubuntu 16.04 as a VMWare Fusion
  guest

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm testing Ubuntu 16.04 as a guest of a VMWare Fusion guest under Mac OS X 10.11.1.
  All works fine, but I'm unable to set 1920x1080 resolution (monitor native) on external display. I can do 1920x1600 or more, but not 1920x1080. I have tried open-vm-tools and vmware-tools, but problem persists. On display-setting, the monitor is marked as unknown display.

  1) Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) - release 16.04
  2) xorg 1:7.7+12ubuntu1
  3) Looking to change external display resolution as 1920x1080
  4) I have not found the 1920x1080 setting
