Il me veut versus Il veut que...

I understand the construction and use of "Il veut que j'aille acheter du lait.", but I wonder if "Il me veut acheter du lait" is any less correct? Thanks!

You can't use the literal translation of "he wants me to buy some milk". You could say, il m'en veut, but that means "he's mad at me".
