Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an acute triangle with AB<ACAB<AC. The angle bisector of BACBAC intersects the side BCBC and the circumcircle of ABCABC at DD and MAM\neq A, respectively. Points XX and YY are chosen so that MXABMX \perp AB, BXMBBX \perp MB, MYACMY \perp AC, and CYMCCY \perp MC. Prove that the points X,D,YX,D,Y are collinear.
