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!

This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate aller in the subjunctive present in French (Le Subjonctif Présent)"

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".
