The midfielder made 31 youth team appearances for his former club, scoring once.
Luka also previously spent time training with Red Star Belgrade’s academy as a 13-year-old back in 2019.
However, he will now look to make his senior debut after joining Zeleznicar and being handed a first-team squad number.
His first chance to feature will come away to Vojvodina on Saturday evening.
Zeleznicar have been on a meteoric rise from the fourth tier to the Serbian SuperLiga with three promotions since 2014.
They currently sit fifth in the table after seven matches following a 14th place finish last term.
Meanwhile, Luka is the oldest son of a Manchester United legend.
His dad made 300 appearances during eight years at Old Trafford, scoring 21 goals from centre-back.
