Problem Statement

We are given an acute triangle ABCABC with ABACAB\neq AC. Let DD be a point of BCBC such that DADA is tangent to the circumcircle of ABCABC. Let EE and FF be the circumcenters of triangles ABDABD and ACDACD, respectively, and let MM be the midpoints EFEF. Prove that the line tangent to the circumcircle of AMDAMD through DD is also tangent to the circumcircle of ABCABC.
