Ibrahimovic scored 28 goals in 46 appearances for the Red Devils before sustaining a career threatening injury against Anderlecht of Belgium.
The Swede fell awkwardly in the extra time of the Europa League quarter-final and many believed he would never return to playing football.
But he made a rapid return and is inline to feature in United's Champions League game against Cska Moscow on Decemeber 5.
Lukaku was speaking to skysportsn about Ibrahimovic and he said; ‘It motivates me really, because he’s another good player to add to the squad.
"When you face a team like us it’s difficult for opponents. Ibrahimovic coming back will help us chase Manchester City."
