Wanted and liked

Can both wanted and liked be used in this sentence?

I did not do as well as I would have liked.
I did not do as well as I would have wanted.

For some reason the sentence with 'wanted' sounds awkward to me. Are the sentences grammatically correct?

Hi teacher sorry to bother you. Please confirm if you meant that you would use this sentence only: I did not do as well as I wanted.
