Manchester United and Barcelona have reached an agreement over a 65 million euro fee, plus add-ons.
The deal is not done and there are still issues to be worked out.
The transfer eventually reaching a conclusion is seen as positive by the people.
The 25-year-old is the top summer transfer target.
On Monday, Ten Hag led training for the first time.
United are still to make any signings this summer as they await a response from Christian Eriksen, who has an offer on the table from the Bees.
Signing De Jong is seen as a priority and they are looking at other positions as well.
The team will leave for Thailand and Australia on July 8.
Although there is no deadline on the transfer, it is hoped that it will be completed by that time.
